Truck loses 136,000 plus eggs on PA highway

Not every country washes and refrigerates eggs. In fact, most of the world doesn't. Apparently it's required in the U.S., but maybe these eggs were going from the farm to the egg-washing place.

Why The U.S. Chills Its Eggs And Most Of The World Doesn't

 

Its to bad this didnt happen in arizona, they couldve fed the whole city breakfast, with the eggs cooked right on the blacktop

 

Where does it say they were being hauled on an unrefrigerated trailer?

 

The way people in Hegins talk with that accent they have, they deserve to be egged. Should happen more often, but with better aim and more velocity. Maybe they'd learn to speak Eeengleesh bah-tur.

Just kidding, former work colleagues from Hegins. Which they say Hay-geens.

Wheeled carts on a flatbed... what could go wrong?

 

Not sure actually since the picture may not be of the trailer the eggs fell off of. If it were a reefer, then the doors must have swung open. I guess I assumed it's an open deck trailer since the articles all talk about the load shifting and the investigation of an unsecured load, which I tend to associate with open decks. But they could be referring to a box, too.

Another story says that the eggs were fertilized and on their way to an incubator. So these weren't going to be eaten as eggs, they were going to be grown into little baby chickens.

Oh the humanity! All that wasted food. grin Where is the nearest PETA agent to complain about all the eggs that were destroyed? (pardon me while I barf)

Eggs fresh from a farm will keep just fine if kept around 50F. So yes they could have been hauled on that open trailer. My sister inlaw brings us farm fresh warm eggs quite frequently. Granted we do refrigerate them upon recieving them.

Makes more sense for the lack of refrigeration.

 

Anyone else humming Humpty Dumpty tune lol..

 

Now that's an EGGnormous mess

 

All we need is a cattle hauler to lay it over and voila-steak and eggs!!!

 

Fresh eggs don’t have to be I leave them out at room temperature as I do my butter! Believe it or not a jar of mayo can be left out to as long as it’s never been refrigerated.
