Rooted in RARE Aquafaba Powder Recall: Undeclared Egg in 3,860 Units Sold Nationwide

Rooted in RARE Aquafaba Powder Recall: Undeclared Egg in 3,860 Units Sold Nationwide

529 Commerce LLC is recalling 3,860 units of Rooted in RARE Aquafaba Powder because the product may contain egg that is not declared on the label, according to a company announcement posted by the Food and Drug Administration. People with an egg allergy or severe sensitivity could suffer a serious or life-threatening reaction if they consume the recalled powder.

The recall covers two flexible-foil pouch sizes sold nationwide through Amazon and directly through the Rooted in RARE website. The company says distribution ran from June 2025 through July 2026, which creates a long household-pantry window. Consumers should check packages even if they were purchased many months ago.

Products, UPCs, and best-by dates

• Rooted in RARE Aquafaba Powder, 4 ounces (113 grams): UPC 199284530959.
• Rooted in RARE Aquafaba Powder, 12 ounces (340 grams): UPC 199284306226.
• Best by December 14, 2026: included in the recall.
• Best by December 12, 2027: included in the recall.

The FDA-posted announcement says the best-by date appears on a sticker at the lower-left area of the back of the package. Consumers should compare the brand, product, pouch size, UPC, and best-by date. Do not rely on only one identifier when the original packaging remains available.

What consumers should do

The company says customers with an egg allergy or sensitivity should not consume the recalled powder and should discard it. Customers who bought the product through Amazon may request a refund from Amazon. Direct customers may contact 529 Commerce LLC for a refund.

The company lists customer service at 888-693-1013 and info@rootedinrare.com, Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central time. Consumers may want to preserve a photograph of the package, UPC, best-by sticker, purchase record, and refund communication while avoiding public disclosure of payment information or home addresses.

FDA’s food-allergy guidance says reactions can vary and may include hives, swelling, vomiting, wheezing, dizziness, difficulty breathing, or loss of consciousness. Severe reactions can progress to anaphylaxis. Anyone experiencing a severe allergic reaction should seek immediate emergency care and follow their established emergency plan.

One reaction is reported

The company announcement says the recall began after a consumer reported an allergic reaction after consuming the product. It says no other illness reports had been received when the announcement was issued. That is the company’s dated report, not a guarantee that no later reports exist.

The announcement also says 529 Commerce terminated its relationship with the supplier involved. It does not identify that supplier, describe how egg entered the product, state whether testing confirmed egg in every affected package, or explain when Amazon purchase notifications were sent. Those are appropriate follow-up questions, not established findings.

Confirmed, reported, and pending

• Confirmed recall scope: 3,860 units across the two listed pouch sizes, UPCs, and best-by dates.
• Confirmed distribution statement: Amazon and direct-to-consumer sales nationwide from June 2025 through July 2026.
• Company-reported event: one consumer allergic reaction prompted the recall; no additional illnesses were reported in the July 29 announcement.
• Pending: supplier identity, root-cause findings, testing details, purchase-notification timing, and any later adverse-event or recall-status update.

Accountability questions

529 Commerce and the unnamed supplier should publish a clear root-cause explanation when the investigation is complete. The public should know whether the problem involved shared equipment, ingredient substitution, cross-contact, a supplier specification failure, or another cause. If testing identified specific lots, the company should explain why the recall scope is framed around the two best-by dates.

Amazon and the direct seller should use available purchase records to notify affected customers promptly. A recall involving an undeclared major allergen should not depend solely on a consumer encountering a news story. FDA should preserve any later classification, expansion, termination, or enforcement update with its date attached.

BadPD will update this brief from FDA or company records. The current public record supports an active recall and one company-reported reaction. It does not support inventing a larger illness count or claiming a final government finding about how the undeclared egg entered the product.
