Are eggs still good after leaving in the car?!


Question: Are eggs still good after leaving in the car?
I accidentally left my eggs in the car and forgot about them for about a week.
They all have a crack in the sides but yokes are still intact.
The temps outside have been around 20 above are they still fine?

I wouldn't eat them. they froze and thawed, probably more than once.
With the sun shining that frozen/thawed egg got warmer than it should, (even at 20 degrees, the interior of the car probably got warm when the sun shone.) they were cracked, too many factors here.
While I totally agree that eggs will last a long time out of the fridge or in the fridge, freezing and thawing change all that.



. I know you said they were in your car for about a week & temp has been around 20 degrees. With them being cracked it would be best just to trash them. If I have an egg in carton that has been cracked I always toss.



There is a risk of food poisoning from old eggs but I think the best reason for not using them is they wont taste very nice.



Personally, I wouldn't eat them because I wouldn't want to risk it. But what you should do is check if they look or smell bad - if they do, toss 'em! Good luck! :)



um probably not... I would open one but smell them too.



No, I Would Advice You Not To Eat Them
