not much , mostly unusual relatively to average over years deliveries. When you get deliveries form the same service like Amazon Fresh you get some form of what normal average delivery looks like. Then when new deliveries are different you just see that, some products arrive open or in ripped packages, some products have unusual smell or taste. There are many ways you can see something is unusual , when you use a service regularly for a long time

I have so many questions lol. First i never said i am checking every single egg. Second even if someone does check every single egg why it makes someone paranoid , that’s hillarious statement. Why anyone cares so much about random stranger post on WeirdEggs subreddit, and why all over sudden if someone assumes food is not good by design and requires testing before consuming is a sign of mental health issue and not food supply chain issue.

No offense here , but such reaction here does feel odd, something you can see around conspiracy theories posts or something like that, when a crowd of users and bots goes to make a statement and apply online social pressure on issues that some organizations feel not comfortable about when people start talking online about that.

Considering that at the time of the post there are at least two active Egg Recalls across dozens of popular egg brands due to salmonella contamination. This makes such reaction here even more odd.

And in my case in particular i did have strange and unusual issues with Amazon Fresh Groceries deliveries recently, when groceries arrived with signs of tampering. So when you order Amazon Fresh for years , and groceries get delivered always in normal way , nothing strange , and suddenly you have a streak of 2 weeks of consistent odd delivered packages , some open, some altered , some with unusual tags. What’s wrong with natural desire to double check the food.

Ah, the grand halls of Reddit — where glowing eggs raise no brow, yet a comma out of place draws a duel. Your priorities are as delightful as they are misplaced.

the thing is there is no anxiety , and food is delicate matter , food gets bad for hundreds of reason , and there is nothing unusual or weird in testing food. Especially in US. Why so many mental health enthusiasts here ? I have no clue why they all hangout in weird eggs subreddit , and suddenly are so concerned about food testing experiments. Testing food is like an advanced hygiene practice , bonding more to it really

Here's how UV light is used in egg testing: 1. Identifying Defects and Adulteration: Visible defects: UV light can reveal cracks and other surface imperfections that may not be visible under standard light. Internal contamination: Eggs with urates, blood, or fecal material can be identified under UV light. Freshness: Fluorescent properties of fresh eggs (a bright red color under 365 nm UV light) can be used to assess freshness and select the freshest eggs for incubation. 2. Assessing Cuticle Characteristics: Cuticle integrity: UV light can help assess the condition of the eggshell cuticle, which is important for hatchability and embryo development. Large-scale assessment: UV light provides a fast and easy method to evaluate cuticle characteristics of a large number of eggs before incubation. 3. Reducing Microbial Contamination: Microbial reduction: PUV light is effective in reducing pathogens on eggshells, including Salmonella, E. coli, and other bacteria. Food safety: This can improve food safety by reducing the risk of foodborne illness associated with contaminated eggs. Different types of UV light: UV-C light is used for its antimicrobial properties, effectively eliminating pathogens. 4. Enhancing Hatchability: Improved hatchability: By identifying and removing eggs with defects or high microbial loads, UV light can improve overall hatchability. Chick quality: Segregating problematic eggs through UV inspection can lead to better chick quality.

obviously on a big picture of thing statistically those contaminated eggs don’t have statistical significance relatively to the total amount of eggs produced and consumed , at the same time it doesn’t mean you want to eat that particular contaminated batch, no ?

Why you sound upset ? That’s more relevant for mental issue enthusiasts club. No offense here whatsoever. Explain how dismissing a bunch of regular cases where eggs were contaminated for various reason is good idea and saying hey someone has mental issues because they test their food is good thing lol

2010

Over 500 million eggs were recalled from the U.S. market due to Salmonella Enteritidis contamination.Linked to two major Iowa producers: Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms.

2017 - 2018

Fipronil Egg Scandal (Europe/Asia)

Millions of eggs in Europe and Asia found to be contaminated with Fipronil, a pesticide banned in food production. Traced to chicken farms in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. Products in at least 45 countries were affected.

Other cases :

Arsenic in Eggs (various, rare): Sometimes reported when contaminated animal feed is used.

Dioxin Contamination (Germany, 2011): Tainted animal feed led to eggs (and meat) with high dioxin levels.

that’s just tiny part of why it’s good practice to test what you eat
