Leaving Eggs in The Car

kitchencuddle.com

Eggs can carry Salmonella even when the shell looks clean. Refrigerated eggs need a reliable cold chain.

Keep refrigerated eggs at 40°F (4°C) or below. A parked car is not reliable cold storage.

Discard refrigerated eggs left out over 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C).

Cold weather alone is not proof that eggs stayed cold. Use an insulated cooler with ice packs and a thermometer.

Condensation cannot prove egg safety. Check storage history, not smell or appearance.

Do not leave farm eggs warm based on their source. Once refrigerated, keep them refrigerated.

Take eggs home promptly. Discard them after an uncertain hot-car delay; do not taste-test them.
