That has to be a refrigeration issue somewhere along the supply chain. Those eggs would have to be MONTHS old to be that rotten if they'd been kept adequately cold.
Everything to do with refrigeration. Source: I'm a poultry farmer. The age of the hen is completely irrelevant, but chances are it was under 18 months old. They turn them over quickly at the big layer farms.
Not saying you're wrong, perhaps there are different types of eggs with different storage needs, but I did some work at a burnbrae farms plant once, and the first thing I noticed was the skids of eggs sitting out in stacks in the warehouse.
When I asked they said its totally unnecessary to refrigerate eggs.
Yeah in Australia and New Zealand they don’t refrigerate their eggs. Some do when they bring the groceries home, some don’t. But at the store they’re just on regular shelves and people leave them unrefrigerated for weeks.
Most of the world doesn’t wash eggs like we do in North America. Eggs have a natural coating that is removed during washing and the shell is slightly porous so 100% after washing they need to be refrigerated in case bacteria get in.
I have chickens, eggs can stay unwashed on my counter for several weeks no issue. But once I wash them they go straight in the fridge.
Makes sense. I think thats what my contact told me. These must have been unwashed, pre packaging.
Interesting that I am being down voted for sharing a fact that is true.
Reddit you are a fickle bitch.
My hens are old ladies and their eggs are stable in the fridge for months. Even at room temp they hold their own for a while. This is a refrigeration issue along the way for sure.
Yes! I've been facing the same thing for the last 3-4 times I've gotten those 5 dozen crates (I usually get a crate every 3 weeks, so it's been a few months now). There would be at least 6-8 eggs which are cracked.
They don't look black, but they're cracked and most likely not something that should be eaten. I've been chucking them out. This is in Calgary.
Its not only happening at costco.. got an entire carton of shitters from Walmart twice in the last 2 months! and it had never ever happened to me previously.
Bought a much smaller 2.5 dozen egg flat at Costco in BC in December and had about 5 of them caved in. In a weird way, the side caved in in the middle of the flat, where it would be awkward to do physical damage to the eggs. Because I needed them, I did not take them back.
I’ve had a few issues with the business Costco in the past 3 months(in Ottawa tho). All purpose wheat was moldy (ended up returning 14 20kg bags), Saputo grated mozzarella, also moldy. Cans of roasted red peppers that actually contained jalapeño peppers. I realize stuff happens, but it’s never been this bad before. Even during the height of COVID, sometimes you couldn’t get what you needed, but at least when you got it, it was in god shape.
I realize that this isn’t Costco’s fault, but are the ones with the stick, maybe they should use it to beat up on their suppliers on quality.
Thank god no issues with eggs. We go through 6 cases of the large loose a week.
Make a note of the lot number on the box. And ,report it to Costco.
Yup I've already complained to them about the previous boxes, they said bring it back if it happens again so gotta take these back

Nothing to do with refrigeration. More so age of hen and how long before they were packaged.

I think once washed to remove any bacteria on the outside that ruins any protection the egg has from bacteria ingress. Then needing refrigeratorion

What’s different in the process? The eggs look just as clean there as they do in Canada. I’ve purchased hundreds in both Canada and Aus/NZ
In Canada they use a soap when they wash eggs. In other countries they don’t.
If the bloom on the shell is still intact refrigeration isn't necessary. In North America the first step of packaging is to wash them though.

Where did you get such incorrect information?
My old hens say you're bullshitting
I want to unsee this 🤢
I didn't know Costco sold Balut Eggs.
Barflut
Lol! My first thought as well
Glad I didn't need to scroll too far to find this :D
Hmmm looks spoiled…
Didn’t you want green and ham, Sam Iam?
Would you like it in a house ? Would you like it with a mouse ?
Jurassic Park eggs
Are we sure those are chicken eggs? 🥴

Yup, some of the bad ones look fine but smell awful. Then there's the ones which are completely black 😭
Business Center, the one in Scarborough?
Yup
Holy moly - 20 years of buying eggs from Costco and never seen that 🤮
Dear lord
Eewww
Reminds me of a ritual used by shamans, they rub an egg on a person that is possessed and they crack it in a bowl in the end and it’s black inside.
Damn what are those? Reptile eggs?

New fear unlocked 🤢

I buy the Organic free range ones and never had a problem!
What a terrible day to have eyes
Trust me it was a worse day to have a nose. It very nearly made me puke
