OK to eat, or not? If you think they will make us ill, please vote YABU. If you think they are safe to eat, please vote YANBU.

Do the Egg Test in a big jug of water, Puzzled.

If it floats, it's a witch!

Or off...😉

The egg trick doesn’t work on boiled eggs!

They can be kept in the fridge for a week after hard boiling so should be fine.

Says a week is ok on google for cooked eggs.

Smell it and see! If it stinks dont eat it!

@cockcrowfarm - it's a boiled egg, it's going to stink no matter what!

5 days should be fine if stored properly. That's how long we often keep boiled eggs from Easter.

Peel it. Taste it. If it tastes like a normal boiled egg, keep eating.

I know someone who boils about 2dozen eggs in one go, refrigerates them and uses them over the course of a couple of weeks in salads, sandwiches etc.

I personally wouldn't but I am quite funny with food after a bad case of food poisoning a few years ago.

An egg cost about 15p so would you pay 15p to not potentially get food poisoning

I reckon hard boiled in the fridge in a shell they’re probably ok.

They keep about a week in the fridge once hard boiled so you should be fine, you’ll know if it has gone off by the smell.

You can buy boiled egg 'protein pots' (I know) from supermarkets which I'm sure were boiled at least that time ago as they normally have a shelf life of several days.

It'll be fine as long as refrigerated properly

You can keep eggs - boiled or unboiled - for quite a while.

Taste a bit

My friend works for a baker, a national chain.

They boil eggs for sandwiches at the start of the week and use them until they run out. 7+ days.

Definitely OK to eat.
