Food Safety Issues - eggs


Expert: Carol Schlitt - 11/22/2007

Question
I have little tiny eggs that have frozen in side a vehicle.  Are they still good to eat or should I throw them away.

Answer
Hi LeAnn,

Usually eggs frozen in the shell break the shell as the liquid expands and cracks the shell. You didn't mention cracking of the shell so I assume the shells are sound and not cracked.

If not cracked, keep the eggs frozen in your freezer and thaw in refrigerator when ready to use.  Use the eggs immediately after thawing in cooked dishes only.

If the shells are cracked, pitch those eggs and do not consume.

Carol
