Are eggs refrigerated in supermarkets?

Yes, eggs are usually refrigerated in supermarkets. Most supermarkets use a temperature-controlled environment to keep eggs fresh and safe to eat. It is important to keep eggs refrigerated at all times to prevent them from spoiling. Additionally, some stores may require that eggs be kept in the refrigerator even when not in use, as a safety precaution.

Do eggs from the supermarket need to be refrigerated?

Yes, eggs from the supermarket should always be refrigerated. Eggs are highly perishable and should be kept at a temperature of 45°F (7°C) or lower. It is best to store eggs in their original carton in the main compartment of the fridge, and not in the door. Eggs should be used within 3-5 weeks of purchase.

How are eggs stored in supermarkets?

Eggs are typically stored in supermarkets in the refrigerated section, usually located near the dairy aisle. The eggs should be stored in the carton in which they were purchased, and the carton should be kept away from the edge of the shelf where it could be exposed to warmer temperatures. The carton should also be stored on its side to prevent the yolks from being damaged. Additionally, the store should ensure that the eggs are not near any other food items that could cause contamination.
