Eggs left in car in 30 degree weather

[Anonymous]

We left a carton of eggs overnight in the car. They are the vital farms kind. When we went to get this morning they were cold, very cold and the car was iced over as it snowed over night. Woukd you toss them or keep. It was from about 5pm to 10am.

I would keep.

Keep

Did they crack open because of freezing? If yes, use immediately. If no, just put them in the fridge, they are fine.

Are you worried that they froze or something?

The eggs weren’t frozen though, right? If the temperature inside the car was only above 36 degrees for the first 90 minutes or so after the eggs were placed in the car, I’d use them without thinking twice or bothering to do any research. If the outside temperature was still much higher at 5pm, let’s say 57 degrees, and it didn’t fall to 36 until much later, let’s say, 3 am, then this wasn’t the equivalent of refrigeration and I’d defer to food safety experts.

They are fine

I’m the first to say toss, but I would totally use them.

I'd keep them. I had a fridge with broken temp control and it froze everything on the left side. Let them defrost a little and they'll be fine.

They are fine, keep.

You're supposed to keep eggs OUT of the refrigerator and you can use them up to 2 weeks after purchase.

You guys are so precious.

You should return the car to the dealer.

Yes, though if I am baking right off in the AM, I leave the requisite eggs on the counter overnight.

PP let us all know where in the DMV we can find a store selling non-washed eggs, and we'll be sure to do this.
