Eggs usually last a long time, but it has been a long debated topic where the best place to store them is in your kitchen.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an ongoing debate whether storing eggs on the countertop or inside the fridge will keep them fresher for much longer. It is common in Britain to keep your eggs on the countertop, but Americans are much more likely to keep them in the fridge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, Dr Bolueso, a British vet, has said you don\u2019t \u201cnecessarily\u201d have to keep eggs in the fridge, but his experience working with food inspectors while studying for his doctorate has given him a unique perspective on this food storage debate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a video online, Dr Bolueso said: \u201cPart of being a vet is part of being responsible for animals from the farm right onto the dinner plate right? Part of my course was actually food standards, and actually food hygiene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my last year of university, I actually had to go around inspecting restaurants with a food hygiene inspector telling him what is wrong and what is right with the way in which they\u2019re processing food but also the way in which they\u2019re storing food.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Where should you store your eggs?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Dr Bolueso believes eggs should be stored in the fridge due to the constant temperature, which gives them greater longevity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cYou don\u2019t need to store your eggs inside the fridge, but you can leave it in the fridge to last longer. Also, I bet you didn\u2019t know this, [but] if you leave your eggs in the fridge, they\u2019ll probably last a lot longer than if you leave them out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, Dr Bolueso also explained that supermarkets do not refrigerate their eggs because they would condense due to the change in temperature. He said: \u201cThere\u2019d be some condensation on there, [and] that would increase the risk of you getting salmonella poisoning later on when you eat the egg.”<\/p>\n

If you wish to get the best quality eggs then Dr Bolueso recommends looking for a British Lion quality stamp, which will look like a red lion wearing a crown. He explained: \u201cThat shows that the chickens have actually been vaccinated against salmonella so that\u2019s something to look out for. Either it\u2019s inside the box or it\u2019s on the egg itself.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
