When do I have to refrigerate my eggs?

In general, if you are located in a country where eggs are processed with the removal of the cuticle, like in the United States, it is recommended to refrigerate eggs to help prevent the growth of any potential bacteria that may have entered the egg through the removal of the cuticle.

It is important to refrigerate eggs promptly after purchase and to keep them refrigerated until they are used. It is also recommended to store eggs in their original carton in the coldest part of the refrigerator (usually the back of the bottom shelf) rather than in the door or on the countertop, where they may be exposed to temperature fluctuations.

If you are unsure about whether to refrigerate eggs or not, it is always best to check the packaging or consult local food safety guidelines for the recommended storage method in your specific region.
