Where to store eggs according to Profeco

Everyone says different things, but Profeco has put an end to the speculation and finally tells us the perfect place to store eggs so they last longer.
According to the information published by the authorities, the best place to store eggs is in the refrigerator, but not in the door, rather in the inner part. This is because the temperature is colder and more stable inside than in the door.

Another thing Profeco recommends is to not wash them before storing, as they should only be washed with soap and water just before use.

Remember that it doesn't matter if the egg is at room temperature in stores or supermarkets; the best thing is to put it in the refrigerator as soon as possible.

If you want to choose the best eggs, Profeco also recommends looking at the shell, which should be clean and intact; that is, it should not have fractures.

Regarding hygiene, it is very important to wash your hands before and after cooking with eggs. This is important because eggs can carry pathogens, and there is a risk of cross-contamination. Also, don't forget to wash the kitchen cloth and utensils that have come into contact with raw egg.

What if the eggs have already expired? Don't cook them! They are no longer fresh and could even be spoiled, so don't put your health at risk.

If they are broken, pay close attention, because if the egg smells bad, that's not a good sign. Also, check that the white is transparent; otherwise, it is recommended to discard it.

Finally, when your egg dishes are ready, allow them to cool and quickly put them in the refrigerator to avoid bacterial growth.
