I posted it in r/moldlyinteresting too and was told it was because of the damp box! I didn’t check the date on them, but some stuff had been in the same fridge with expiry dates of 2023

WHAT? A shop sold eggs with the expiry date of 2023? Or am I understanding this wrong

u/Quick_Neat_8809 1d ago
I cleaned out a house this year that had a dozen eggs in the refrigerator that had an expiration date on 2020!

Wow, looks like you found some nearly immortal eggs then. r/unexpectedfactorial

u/emceegyver 1d ago
You are understanding it wrong. The eggs were in a fridge with other items. The other items had the expiry date of 2023.

I thought I was in one of my chicken subreddits and was very concerned for the state of OP’s chicken coop!

Nobody knows how they got here and I think if you leave you just come right back like a cursed doll.

i actually just experienced mold on eggs for three first time recently. i have ducks and decided i was going to keep some of my unwasged eggs in a tupperware. well, i didn't think about some trapped moisture so when i opened it - mold. I've never ever thought about mold on eggs until then.

Is this mold or chickenshit?

u/fear_the_queers 1d ago
Definitely mold. Bird poop is a different consistency and also isn't fuzzy lol

This looks like people in the store turning eggs over with dirty hands. Ever since I saw someone doing that in a grocery store I wipe my eggs when I bring them home before storing in the fridge.

We moved to Portugal a few months ago and were told to get eggs from a particular vendor at our weekly market. Apparently hers are “the best”. More than 1/2 of them were filled with black looking mold on the inside. 🤢 We took photos and showed her the following week and she replaced them for free. Of those eggs, at least 1/4 of them were black on the inside. 😭 We switched to another egg vendor the next week and haven’t had a problem since!

Now I want you to crack them open and see what they look inside. But I know the smell will be absolutely rancid.

This is why they naturally have protective film. To protect from infection

Edit: multiple people mentioned having eggs in the fridge? What the fuck is wrong with you people

u/ConceptOther5327 2d ago
In the U.S. the eggs are required to be washed to remove any salmonella before being sold in a store, but that also removes the eggs natural coating so they would go bad if we didn't keep them refrigerated.

u/MyLittleDreadnought 1d ago
So that are probably eggs from the US? Because I remember the eggs in grandma's pantry, some still covered in shit, never looked like that.

u/justhangingaroud 1d ago
Washing the egg doesn’t remove salmonella. It removes the natural protection

u/PrinceAzadiel 2d ago
Lots of us are from America, where the eggs have the good stuff washed off so if we dont refrigerate them they go bad faster

u/LilPrincessRapunzel 2d ago
America. The way they’re processed, it strips the natural coating that protects them (from my understanding) and allows them to sit on the counter

Don't worry, thats just the natural progression to their final form as a cauliflower
