Do eggs have to be refrigerated?!


Question: Do eggs have to be refrigerated!?
I work at a wilderness boarding school, and they go camping every weekend!. I'm the "food lady"!. I'm packing up a couple days early for the trip this weekend, because I won't be here for the rest of the week!. If I take the eggs out of the fridge and put them in a camping egg container, will they be ok until Thursday morning (less than 48 hours)!? That's when the staff will put them in the cooler for the weekend!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Its advisable to refrigerate it!. Especially you don't want to risk it when you are serving it to others!. Eggs and milk products are considered perishable and should be received!. You can leave it out before preparing food for a 30 to 60 min!. but not later than that!. Since you are the food lady you have to think of a way to keep them cool!. You can pack them between ice packs and not loose ice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
