Left eggs out overnight. Are they safe to eat?!


Question: Left eggs out overnight. Are they safe to eat?
I just bought eggs yesterday from Target. I came home, and put it in the fridge. But when I went to grab something to drink at night, I took the eggs out ( for they were blocking it ) and left it out overnight. They are not cooked at all. Are they still safe to cook / eat ?

Yes, they don't need refrigeration. The shell keeps them sterile.

The people who are saying "no" and giving me thumbs down are dead wrong, don't believe them. Ever see a chicken carrying around refrigerator?



Yes we put ours in a fridge but as a lad we did not have one so we kept them in a cool place. refrigeration is "quite" a new thing in most homes in UK 70 years ago only the fairly wealthy had them and not always then. food rarely went "off" and particularly when food was rationed here in UK all hell let loose when it did.
Although I would not like to do without a fridge these days I could cope without one with a cool but well ventilated room



I would not eat them, Sam I Am.

Seriously though... they are PROBABLY okay IF you cook them REALLY REALLY well. It's a $1.70 carton of eggs... you want that or a $500 doctor bill? Throw them away.



my former mother in law never refrigerated her eggs, she grew up on a farm, and said refrigerating eggs is a waste of money. I do refrigerate them, but I will never forget her saying that to me.



Yes. As long as the expiration date is not outdone, then they are safe to eat if they are/aren't refrigerated.



They dont keep eggs in the fridge in a supermarket so surely they will be fine



I would eat them with no qualms about it.



I would still eat it



I wouldn't, eggs can be iffy.



Yes, I don't refrigerate eggs, and they are good for weeks
