cracked eggs

princesstippytoes · 2009-04-08 15:59:21

I opened the box of eggs and two of them are cracked. They are free range and the use by is 23rd April. I bought them on Monday and they were not cracked then, I know because I always check. I'm worried that bacteria has gotten into the eggs. Are they safe to eat or do I need to throw them out?

Years ago, our local chicken farm used to sell trays of cracked eggs for cooking. We ate dozens of them - never did us any harm .

Same here .
Have to admit to being quite careful about hand-washing though when handling eggs in their shells.
