Will we get sick?

Baked a cake. Eggs had been in the fridge previous. Since found out that the eggs I used had actually been sat out on the kitchen side from 11am-6pm when I used them for the cake. Will we get sick??!

I’m worried about the temperature change from them being in the fridge to then being at room temp and used

You’re worrying over nothing

MereDintofPandiculation · 07/12/2024 19:42

Of course not!

You don’t need to store eggs in the fridge.

Julia34 · 07/12/2024 19:42

No you be alll ok. I rarely put eggs in fridge and never get sick

What are you on about? Do you do your own shopping? Do you get them out of the fridge a the supermarket?

SocksAndTheCity · 07/12/2024 19:41

No. The eggs shouldn't have been in the fridge, but a brief stint in there won't make them harmful.

Prisonpillow · 07/12/2024 19:41

Of course not. You get egg holders
to keep eggs on outside the fridge.

eggs don’t need to be refrigerated
When you buy them at the supermarket they’re on shelves / ambient temperature

If you live in the UK, have you never noticed that eggs are not typically refrigerated? You’ll be fine.

SecretToryVoter · 07/12/2024 19:40

No

eggs aren’t kept in the fridge in the supermarket at all

Bluelightfairy · 07/12/2024 19:40

No. Eggs aren't kept in the fridge at the supermarket. They don't need to be in the fridge at home.

AlbertCamusflage · 07/12/2024 19:40

No. Sounds fine.

WispasAreNicerThanFlakes · 07/12/2024 19:40

No you won’t get sick. In fact it would have helped your cake as you’re supposed to use eggs at room temperature!
