Should eggs be stored in the fridge?

Why you shouldn’t keep eggs in the fridge?

It is generally not recommended to keep eggs in the refrigerator because the cold temperature can cause the eggshell to become brittle and porous. This can allow bacteria to enter the egg and cause it to spoil quickly, leading to foodborne illnesses. It is best to store eggs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

What is the best way to store eggs?

The best way to store eggs is in the refrigerator. Eggs should be kept in their original carton and placed in the coldest part of the refrigerator, typically the back. Eggs should never be stored on the door as this is the warmest part of the refrigerator. Eggs should also be used within 3-5 weeks after purchasing.
