It's sold at favorite grocers and makes high-protein meals a breeze, but it's the subject of a consistent food processing trend.
Nearly 5,000 Popular Egg Products Recalled in One of the Nation’s Largest States

Protein-conscious eaters know eggs are a valuable source of the nutrient. According to the Cleveland Clinic, just one egg delivers six grams. But if you were planning to skip the skillet and instead microwave your meal, you’ll want to pay attention to a new grocery recall.
In an announcement shared on Wednesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported that 4,522 packages of Chile Verde Egg Bites have been recalled by the Benicia, CA-based Valley Fine Foods Co., Inc.
The company owns three brands: Three Bridges, Pasta Prima, and Artisola. It’s the breakfast-focused brand Three Bridges that appears to produce the recalled egg bites, though that information is not clearly stated in the FDA report. According to the Three Bridges website, its products are sold at Target, Costco, Kroger, Sam’s Club, and Albertsons, among other grocers.
The recall is reportedly due to concerns of “potential contamination with foreign materials” and appears to have been first initiated on April 3. The FDA alert does not specify what the “foreign materials” in question are nor how the company first became aware of the potential contamination. Contamination with foreign matter is one of the most common reasons we’ve seen recalls occur this year.
The products were reportedly distributed in Texas, though it’s not clear where in Texas the products were sold.
The FDA says that each package contains two egg bites. The federal agency also provided the following details:
- Product Quantity: 646 cases (7 packages per case)
- Package Weight: 4.6 ounces (130 grams)
- UPC code: 0-41220-30655-8
- Lot: 05/17/25 [time stamp] L2
On the brand’s website, Three Bridges says its egg bites “are a great way to get a full meal on the go” and can be cooked in 75 seconds. The “fluffy mini muffin-shaped eggs” contain 16 grams of protein and two grams of sugar. They’re also gluten-free and keto-friendly.
The FDA has designated the recall, which is ongoing, as a Class II event, meaning “use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.”
