can you still use the egg.....?

Question

if it has a crack while in the package? nothing oozing out of it, still been refriderated, just cracked?

Answer 1

I do it all the time.

Answer 2

I think that it's safe. I've used a cracked egg plenty of times. I was baking a cake & needed 3 eggs one was cracked on the bottom & it was my last egg (I ran out) & the store is inconvenient at that time.
Besides,you said nothing was oozing out so the protective lining wasn't breached. All germs, bacteria, & salmonella or anything else that maybe a contaminate will be cooked away.Please enjoy your egg.

Answer 3

I have (but Iwouldn't suggest it because of salmonella poisoning), I have made an omelet for myself with it. If you are brace enough go for it but just don't ever use it in foods that you will serve for family members or guests. I am not sure how salmonella works but I feel that the high temperature of cooking it would kill the bacteria. Maybe try over cooking it for safety's sake.

Answer 4

It is recommended not to use a cracked egg. However if still fairly fresh, as long as you cook it completely, it should be safe.

Answer 5

that depends on how long its been cracked and what you plan to do with it. the longer its like that the more likely its likely to get bacteria in it. i would just through it out

Answer 6

It should be fine, but why not just throw it away. Eggs are not that expensive, and it is not worth taking a chance that it might be spoiled.

Answer 7

it's probably safer not to use it.... but as long as the lining inside the egg is not breached, it should be ok if within date. But honestly, it's a 10 cent item... throw it out.

Answer 8

If I were you, I will not use the egg. Just for safety

Answer 9

i wouldn't do it. you don't know how long it's been cracked and what kind of bacteria etc. it has been contaminated by.

Answer 10

I wouldn't eat it.
