USDA: More than 4,600 pounds of egg products recalled in 9 states for health concerns
View Date:2024-12-23 14:17:30
A Minnesota company is recalling 4,620 pounds of liquid egg products because they were misbranded with an undeclared allergen.
The M.G. Waldbaum Co. of Gaylord, Minn., which does business as Michael Foods Inc., is recalling about 4,620 pounds of Fair Meadow Foundations Whole Eggs with Citric Acid because the product contains milk, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.
Michael Foods, which produces foods for restaurants, hotels, hospitals and other institutions, produced the 32-ounce cartons June 11, 2024 and shipped them to restaurants and other institutions in Alabama, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, and Utah, the FSIS said.
The food company discovered the problem when some Whole Egg with Citric Acid cartons were unaccounted for, and there was a corresponding extra amount of Breakfast Blend Scrambled Egg cartons in the company's inventory. The company notified the FSIS when it found that a short production run of Breakfast Blend Scrambled Egg, which includes milk as an ingredient, used the unaccounted-for Whole Egg with Citric Acid cartons.
Milk is among allergens the Food and Drug Administration requires be declared on product labels.
So far, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products, the FSIS said.
