[@modeltman6514]

That is because you didn't wash off the natural protective coating on the eggs. Unwashed eggs can last weeks on a counter without being refrigerated. When you wash them, they have to be kept in a fridge.

Sad you all think THESE are the things you need to worry about buying food in America. I left the states for good 8 years ago. Almost immediately my chronic indigestion, depression and anxiety simply went away. But those aren't even the big one... I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and put on a bunch of meds that were very expensive and made my life worse (I stopped taking them). Since leaving American poison food even my Fibromyalgia has cleared up. Haven't had a flare up in over a year.

Am considering purchashing a hard plastic shopping carrier. Similiar to the stores. Place inside a ahopping cart, then on the cashiers conveyor belt. Then the food in another pladtic, rectangular carrier. While the cashier takes out, rings up and starts fiilling an empty one. My groceries would not touch the shopping cart and conveyer belt. Live in a county in California, ten years ago legally mandated to use shopping bags. A hassle to remrmber and a huge transference potential of germs. Purchased either paper to reuse for projects, or plastic which is perfect for my arthritic hands, and getting my garbage is a bit of a walk to the bins. The rectangular boxes are fairly inexpensive.

[@jeanmader2302]

I clean my shopping cart w/ Alcohol wipes, and NOT just the handle! I WASH everything I buy at the grocery store.I WIGGLE the eggs, to make sure they aren't sticking underneath, as two or more could be damaged.I even get ice cream from the freezer. I have considered rinsing the eggs, as they seem gross, just because I WASH everything. My sister in law said I was stupid for rinsing meat, but as long as you don't splash all over, you can do it safely. She said, you would probably wash hamburger, and I said, "Your damned right, if I could!" LOL, I resent her habit of calling people stupid, so I loved my comment!

[@user-jb4xv4im9o]

I was shopping on Fred Meyer in the produce section. I saw a worker dumping out a pint of fruit, using a nasty dirty looking cloth to wip the residue off on some of them from the rotten ones oozing on them. He then put the wiped ones back in the basket and back out for sale with several missing and with who knows what germs from him handling them with no gloves and wiping with the dirty rag, then going on to the next basket and doing the same. I never purchased quart or pint baskets of fruit or veggies there again. It made me gag.

[@eileenmcmahon2373]

I saw a a meat store called McKinnon's years ago near I live take packages of chicken off the shelf and go in back open packages rinse meat off and repackage with new dates. And I saw them eating hamburger uncooked with their hands no gloves. I reported to health inspector. I never bought meat from them again. How I know what I'm talking about? I walked in back because I had a question. I was a long time customer and feeding my children with their meat. I was so mad.

Enjoyed your video and lessons learned. I don't buy eggs that often but will remember next time. I knew what was said but isn't also looking for the date important? I'm careful buying food & don't want to get myself sick. I picked up chicken breast and looking at dates. When I did it was sitting in meat blood. I placed it back, got turned off and never bought any meat. I ended buying the fish in those packets were you scoop the fish out. I place on my salad with a nice avocado. I really got to be careful because I've got alot of health issues. Again thank you for sharing!

As far as the load line for the eggs it's not going to matter is it? Because other people have handled those eggs before you..
