Do eggs go bad if they are not refrigerated?

Answer 1

Yes and no. Obviously they'll eventually spoil but eggs are naturally pretty reislent and will usually last two or three weeks unrefridgerated (great news for backpackers!). This is due largely to natural antibactierial qualities in the shell. Temperature, the health of the chicken that laid the egg and the density and state of the shell (ie: cracks) will all effect longevity. A good rule of thumb is if it smells rotten, it is rotten (hence that "rotten egg" smell), otherwise enjoy!

Answer 2

Eventually, yes. They will in all likelyhood last longer than if outside of the fridge. how long they last depends on how long it was since laid and what temperature they have been stored at since. You can always put on in a pot of water before cooking if unsure whether it's spoiled or not. if it sits at the bottom horizontally it's ok, ifit's at an angle on the bottom it's begining to turn, if it's vertical it's pretty bad but you could take your chances, if it floats throw it away as the gasses from bacteria eating it have made it float, meaning there's a lot in there. And salmonella is common in eggs and poultry in general.

Answer 3

Yes eggs go bad.

Only if they have kept them in a fridge since they picked them and brought them to the store. if they have kept them in room temperature (you will see that when you buy them in the store) you don't have to keep them in the fridge. I asked the owner on my grocery store at home once because they left the eggs out in the store and not in the fridge.

Answer 4

It really depends on how long you keep them out of the refrigerator . If you leave them out for a couple of days they will spoil . If you leave them out for a couple of hours you should be fine .

Answer 5

Not necessarily. A lot depends whether they have their natural coating, which is often removed during processing. With it unprocessed eggs can stay out even for weeks. When you open the egg, check that the yolk holds its shape and that the colors look normal. Smell it too. But if you can refrigerate, do.

Answer 6

Yes, eggs can go bad if they are refrigerated. The best way to tell if your eggs are spoiled is by putting them in water. If they sink, they're fresh. If they float to the top, they're bad.
