I left a carton of eggs in my truck overnight. Bought at 8:15 PM

They're fine.

What are we talking here, $2.50

Throw it away. Not worth shittin through a screen door the rest of the day.

Depends on how hungry you are

Why Americans Refrigerate Their Eggs

For Americans, storing eggs in the fridge isn't simply a matter of taste — it's done to prevent the spread of Salmonella. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there are approximately 142,000 illnesses every year that are caused by consuming eggs contaminated with Salmonella. In the U.S., hens are not required to be vaccinated against Salmonella, with only one-third of farmers choosing to immunize their flocks.

Because of these immunization policies and practicies, it is imperative to keep eggs refrigerated.To minimize the risk of contamination and to extend shelf life, eggs should be stored in the case or carton in a refirgerator. If done so, they should last up to four to five weeks without a significant loss of quality, according to the American Egg Board.

Across the pond, on the other hand, British laws require that all egg hens be vaccinated for Salmonella. Since the UK eggs scare in 1988, the Department of Health has taken precautionary measures to prevent a Salmonella outbreak. The Salmonella National Control Programme (NCP) prevents egg operators and producers from marketing eggs infected with the bacteria or that have an “unknown health status” (in other words, not tested, according to the NCP standards). The same standards are in place in many European contries.

Nevertheless, Britons remain divided on whether to keep their eggs on the counter or store them in the fridge

When I had chickens I never puty eggs in the fridge.

backyard eggs =/= to store-bought eggs. Store bought eggs are washed and the outer protective layer is removed, leaving them more susceptible to bacteria in the danger zone.

Nobody gives a shite what those toofless turds do across the pond.

OP, just go get you a new dozen eggs for 2 bucks, keep the old ones to use and hide next year at Easter, no waste, win/win.

I wouldn't eat them over easy but hard-boiled or scrambled you will be fine.

like 3 posts up says the Brits vaccinate their chickens and that's why some don't refrigerate them. Try reading next time.

yeah they are fine. eat, damn it

Fry them up well in a large pan with a pat of butter. Then give them to the dog.

You must have the world's cheapest veterinarian. Cause when my pets required medical care, it's as expensive (or moreso) than the human doctor.
