No bad health reactions are expected from the bleach

Cargill Kitchen Solutions, a unit of farminggiant Cargill, is recalling around212,268 pounds of egg beaters because they can contain bleach, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said late Friday.

After receiving a tip about potential contamination, USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Serviceinvestigation determined the egg beaters, which include the brand Bob Evans,could be contaminated withsodium hypochlorite, commonly known as bleach.

Produced between March 12 and March 13, the recalled egg beaters shipped todistributors in Ohio and Texas and for foodservice use in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois and Iowa, "but there isa possibility that the products were distributed nationwide," the USDA said.

The USDA said it"is concerned that some product may be in consumers or foodservice refrigerators or freezers."

Still, the USDA said it "does not expect any adverse health effects" from the egg beaters containing bleach and there have been no "confirmed reports" of bad reactions from eating them.
