What is a fresh egg?
The age of an egg has a bearing on its freshness but age is only one of many contributing factors. The temperature at which it is held,, the humidity and the handling all play their parts. These variables are so important that an egg one week old, held under ideal conditions, can be fresher than an egg left at room temperature for one day. Ideal conditions are: • Temperature of less than 40 degrees • Humidity of 70 to 80% • Proper handling • Prompt gathering and cleaning of the eggs.
