I purchase this egg from spar and On getting home i saw the best before stamp on the egg. And i was like why would a mall like spar selling already spoiled egg.

I quickly boiled 2 eggs from it. And found out the york was not at the center of the eggs. As it was just off to the shell and I did research online

It's because your eggs are old. The structures that hold the yolk in the center of the egg break down over time, along with the envelopes that hold the whites and yolk together.

The egg has lost it flavored and not having that fresh smell from a fresh egg that was cooked.

I ate the two cooked egg. Although not completely bad but no longer fresh.

What will i do with this eggs?

What even shocked me is that the price of the egg is at a rate of 300. Maybe because of the packaging

Fry them

I don't think u will see much difference

The eggs are too plenty. Maybe i should get half painter tomatoes and do egg tomatoes sauce and store them in refrigerator.

But the eggs just too plenty for one person.

I don't understand you. It says best before 14/10/24.
Today is 8/10/24. Best before date is next week Monday na...

Consume them before the expiry date. E no too hard like that.

you didn’t see where i said they already going bad? The York is not at the center. They should have sell a crate that just 1 week way from expiring.

I bought i crate to store it. How can i consume all that in a day?

Oh? So what should they do with the crate that's 1 week before its best before date? They should throw it in the bin abi? Because they didn't use money to buy it... did they force it on you? Its up to you to do your due diligence and check the date before buying and if you are not happy with it, you leave it and buy elsewhere!

When it comes to buying eggs, it is best to buy from retailers (market women).
Asides the fact that they often carry/sell fresh eggs, you get to shake the eggs before buying.
Once they feel loose (like they're moving) on the inside, they're old (possibly rotten) eggs. Don't buy.
Fresh eggs don't move when shaken.

Even though it was his mistake for not checking the expiration date earlier on, but for me, they have permanently lost a customer. Who displays egg on the shelf a week before the expiration? If na me, I go return am back, use am carry another brand. Nonsense

There are people around you who are in need, look for them and give to them..

fabuloz1:

Did he buy the eggs to give out?

Would you prefer he throws the eggs away when they eventually get spoilt?

Everyone displays eggs a week before BB date. I hope you know BB date is different from expiration date. Even here in UK, you will see milk and eggs whose sell by date is next tomorrow, still in the big name stores. Just that they will do 30% off. By evening it will be 50% off. By a day to go they will pack them to community centers to dash to the poor. Nobody throws stuff away even here where they are cheap as chips. E come be for naija where a crate is over 6k... are the shops making 6k on the whole batch they sold that day? You people don't pity yourselves, you want the small business man to kill himself to please you. Again I ask, what should the stores have done? Throw it away?

Boil half of them. Boiled eggs last longer. And eat the rest before they expire.

If it's real egg and not something made in a laboratory, it won't expire any time soon.

The expiry date is a marketing ploy (consumerism) to sell more eggs to you sooner

when you boil fresh egg its has a kind of small especially the york. This one off men. How can we even tell the production date is what they states there.

That egg is already going bad considering i even bought them higher than the market value for a fresh eggs around.

Return them and shout on them....they will change it for you

Why don't you simply refrigerate and eat your eggs—make pastries, or fry them up, etc., — before they go bad?

Fry chin chin
Bake cake
Fry pan cake
Do egg source
Cook moi moi
Bake bread
Egg will finish

My will call it GMO eggs

Next time simply locate a local egg supplier in your area and buy your eggs from them.
Simple !!!

No be everything dem dey buy for supermarket

Next time don't purchase at the mall

Electricity is not constant in Nigeria

FriendsAndFans:
■ Electricity is not constant in Nigeria

He can afford eggs at Naira 300 each so I sort of assumed he might be on Band A electricity in Nigeria —20 -23 hours a day or so.

Was the price reduced, you tell me how he was supposed to eat those eggs within 1 week with the situation of things. Every sane store reduces the price of everything close to BB dates and it also a way to alert you. Pls don't act like you're the only one abroad, what is bad is bad. Plus the OP complained the egg has lost his quality already, so the BB inscription on it is also questionable.

I always advice my colleagues to be very careful when purchasing items in supermarket . Buying items like eggs is better in a market or retail shops that sells fast.
Don't be so carried away with the word "mall" or "supermarket". Some people think going to market will make them inferior. So, they see big supermarkets as a real deal.

Bought half painter tomatoes and other ingredients. Did egg sauce with half of the eggs.

Chia the odor nor follow at all. Taste even bad.

Throwing them away now.

Even wasting more money trying to recuperate the eggs. I just have to submit and count my lose. I will never buy a crate of eggs again. Just little little as needed.

Another thing i learnt when you break an egg the. Yolk should be firm and in the middle. If the yolk scatters the egg have gone bad.

If you want fresh eggs source from the poultry farmer or at least a retailer close to them!

You can warm the boiled egg in pepper sauce or fry with some garnishes like Geisha, Sardine, Peak milk, green peas and other vegees you love!

Nothing will happen to you even after that date

Lol
Rule number 1: never purchase egg from any supermarket.
Rule number 2: never forget rule number 1

I bought this same egg from Jendol supermarket, my own no even spoil o, but damn, the price is way more than the one sold outside and it’s even smaller in size compared to the one sold outside for less the Jendol price.

Since then, I dare not!

Oh...
Sorry. Then it must have been quite old for it to smell that bad.

But you could have checked the date before buying
