A company is recalling more than 4,600 pounds of liquid egg products because of misbranding and undeclared allergens, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Safety Inspection Service.
The company Michael Foods Inc., based in Minnesota, said the liquid egg breakfast blend formulation items were produced June 11. The following products are included in the recall:
- 32-oz. paperboard carton containing “Fair Meadow Foundations Whole Eggs with Citric Acid” with the use by date of “16 SEP 24” and lot code 4162G. This product is packaged within a corrugated case labeled Scrambled Egg Blend with the same use by date and lot code.
Additionally, products with the establishment number EST. G1455 are subject to recall.
The recall states the products were shipping to restaurant consignees for institutional use in Alabama, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina and Utah.
The USDA said the problem was found during a routine carton inventory evaluation.
"The establishment notified FSIS when it discovered that a limited amount of Whole Egg with Citric Acid cartons was unaccounted for, and there was a corresponding excess of Breakfast Blend Scrambled Egg carton in inventory. The establishment investigated and determined that the unaccounted Whole Egg with Citric Acid cartons were inadvertently utilized during a single short Breakfast Blend Scrambled Egg production run. The Breakfast Blend formulation contains an allergen, a dairy ingredient (milk), which is not declared on the Whole Egg with Citric Acid label," USDA stated.
There's been no reports of adverse reactions from consumption of the products.
