Jun 14, 2013 at 16:40 comment added SAJ14SAJ Of interest, and perhaps more balanced, EU considering requiring washing: foodproductiondaily.com/Processing/Eggs-washed-or-unwashed
Jun 14, 2013 at 16:33 comment added SAJ14SAJ The journal article finds that washing does not damage the egg cuticle: eggnology.com/JFP-Egg-Washing.pdf
Jun 14, 2013 at 16:27 comment added SAJ14SAJ This one, which at least seems scientific, does not indicate degredation of quality at low temperature: agrifoodpublishers.com/main/…
Jun 14, 2013 at 16:18 comment added SAJ14SAJ Balderdash. That first link is crap. Comments on a blog have no credibility. I myself used to keep eggs on the counter when I used them rapidly. But there is no doubt they last longer under refrigeration, to assert otherwise is grasping at straws. I don't think anyone has asserted that eggs in the shell absolutely must be refrigerated--I wrote the answer to the egg storage question.
Jun 14, 2013 at 16:10 comment added MandoMando lol. "they stay at high quality much longer under refrigeration." is also a bald assertion ;) some say the cold temperature has ill-effects on yolk quality. Anyhow, the bigger issue here is: "should shell eggs really be thrown out after two hours at room temperature?" seems like a horrible waste given than most of the world keeps their eggs at room temp.
Jun 14, 2013 at 15:51 comment added SAJ14SAJ The FDA is also often quite conservative. The refrigeration recommendation for eggs is an example; but note also they stay at high quality much longer under refrigeration.
Jun 14, 2013 at 15:50 comment added SAJ14SAJ With respect to Darin who posted it, the idea that eggs are more porous after being washed and that this is somehow a safety issue really requires some documentation or citation. I don't consider it credible as a bald assertion.
