Plain-English summary

M.G. Waldbaum dba Michael Foods Inc. is recalling approximately 4,620 pounds of liquid egg products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The specific product is a 32-oz. paperboard carton of “FAIR MEADOW Foundations WHOLE EGGS with CITRIC ACID” with a use-by date of 16 SEP 24 and lot code 4162G. These items were packaged in corrugated cases labeled Scrambled Egg Blend. The products bear establishment number EST. G1455.

The recall was initiated after a routine inventory evaluation revealed that Whole Egg with Citric Acid cartons were inadvertently used during a production run of Breakfast Blend Scrambled Egg. The Breakfast Blend formulation contains a dairy ingredient (milk), which is a known allergen not declared on the Whole Egg label. The products were produced on June 11, 2024, and shipped to restaurant consignees for institutional use in Alabama, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, and Utah.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Restaurants and institutions are urged not to serve these products and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions can contact Michael Foods Inc. or the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline.
