Plain-English summary

Valrhona Inc., a Brooklyn, New York establishment, is recalling approximately 66 pounds of dried albumin egg products. The products were produced in Italy, a country ineligible to export egg products to the United States. The specific product is a 1.1-lb. plastic canister containing “Sosa ALBUWHIP” with lot codes LALB22033, LALB22077, LALB22168, or LALB22200. These items were produced on February 2, 2022, March 18, 2022, June 17, 2022, and July 19, 2022.

The recall was initiated after the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) investigated and determined that the egg products were produced in Italy. The products were shipped to locations in California, Florida, Nevada, and New York. FSIS has classified this as a Class I recall, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to the product may cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
