200K Pounds Liquid Egg Products Recalled In Illinois, Nationally

To be completely honest, I never paid even the slightest bit of attention to liquid eggs until a couple of years ago when my wife started buying cartons of liquid eggs for the convenience they bring to someone who's trying to cook eggs for five people at a time. They're also very popular with restaurants that feature multiple egg dishes on the menu.

Liquid eggs, for those like me who've also never really paid any attention to them, are basically eggs that have been broken from their shells and blended, making them easier to use in recipes and reducing mess. They're also pasteurized to eliminate harmful bacteria, ensuring food safety and extending shelf life.

Liquid eggs also retain the same nutritional value as eggs that are in the shell. One quarter cup of liquid whole eggs equals one large egg, and they are sold in "bag-in-box" or "gable-top" carton packaging.

And now 200,000 pounds of them are being recalled.

The USDA's Food Safety And Inspection Service (FSIS) Received A Tip That Certain Liquid Egg Products May Have Been Contaminated

USDA recalls are categorized into three classes based on the severity of the health risk posed by a recalled food product:

Class 1: The most serious of the the 3 classes, a Class 1 recall means that there's a high probability that the product could cause serious health problems or even death.

Class 2: Slightly less urgent than Class 1, A Class 2 recall means that there is a potential for health risk, but chance of something serious are low.

Class 3: The lowest recall classification means that the product may have issues, but it's unlikely to cause health problems.

This recall of liquid egg products falls under the Class 3 category...but I'd still recommend taking a look in your fridge for them and returning them to your place of purchase for a refund.
