Fraser Anning, 69, a far-right Queensland senator, was speaking to reporters in Melbourne when a 17-year-old boy cracked a raw egg against the politician's head, video of the incident shows. The footage quickly went viral on social media, where he was given the nickname \"Egg Boy.\"

Broken Egg is an eye-catching lighting fixture mimicking a cracked egg by designer Ingo Maurer. The fantastic and intriguing design, first introduced as a ceramic table lamp in 1996, has inspired a new architectural project, allowing visitors to actually enter a massive oval-shaped venue. The egg-shaped structure is set to be built at Art Park in Inhotim, Brazil, boasting a futuristic space reminiscent of classic sci-fi films. Maurer released a model of his large-scale project at this year's Milan Design Week, sharing its inventive architectural scheme with future visitors.

I would like to know. I just pulled our batch from last Oct/Nov up for use. Found a couple of cracked eggs. The inner membrane still intact. I took them out. Opened up a couple other eggs and they appear fine.So if the lime seals the eggs, how are they ruined if one cracked?

When you are faced by a cracked egg problem you need to investigate both the quality of the eggs produced by the hens and your method of handling the eggs after they have been laid. One tool that helps to investigate these problems is an egg candler. A candler is a specially designed light that will help you to see the small as well as the large cracks. When looking into cracked egg problems, you want to find the small cracks because they can easily turn into large ones as you collect, wash, and grade the eggs. An egg candler can be purchased through many chick/feed supply dealers as well as mail order catalogues. A high quality egg candler costs about $200.

If you find large numbers of cracks in eggs that are carefully gathered by hand from the nests or cages, your hens are a possible source of the problem. For a 60 week old flock, it is normal to find cracks in 4% of the eggs at examined at the nest or cage. If the number of cracked eggs is high, possible causes include:

Even if shell quality is good, you may still find large numbers of cracked eggs at the cage or nest. Nests require 5 cm or more of bedding material to provide a soft landing area for the eggs. Cage floors must be designed and installed to prevent too steep of a slope. The floors must be free of broken wires and sturdy enough to stop eggs from getting stuck in the cage. Deep cages often have more cracks than shallow cages.

Raw eggs are delicate symbols of fragility, and their one-use-only shells should be handled with care. Like the plastic sheet on a new phone screen, once you've cracked the egg or peeled off the plastic there's no going back. But what if, as you pry the new phone from its box or swing open a fresh carton, the plastic sheet is slightly peeling off already or you see an egg that's cracked?

According to the CDC, the danger of chicken meat and eggs is the infamous salmonella, which is a bacteria that can do some serious damage when ingested by humans. According to the USDA, if bird droppings get on the egg, salmonella can spread from the animal's intestinal tract onto the eggshells, and if some part of the egg's white or yolk comes into contact with the shell, the salmonella can spread quickly. To prevent this spread, eggshells are tough and completely sealed. They also have a thin membrane right underneath the shell to act as extra protection. However, if your egg's shell is cracked and these natural barriers compromised, it may be better to get rid of your egg entirely.

The USDA warns against buying cracked eggs and recommends inspecting every egg before purchasing them. If your eggs ***** on the way home from the grocery store, just transfer the egg to a clean container and throw the shell away. This will keep for up to two days. If the egg is cracked while cooking or some portion of the egg white or yolk comes into contact with the shell, you should be fine, as salmonella spread is very low during cooking.

Never buy cracked eggs from the supermarket or a farmers market. Always check the eggs in the carton while you're still in the store. Check for broken eggs and also hairline cracks in any of the eggs.

Bottom line, if an egg has cracked and you're not exactly sure when it cracked or you don't feel comfortable eating it, then trust your gut and toss it - either to your chickens or your compost pile. It's not worth getting food poisoning by taking chances with cracked eggs.

You followed all the tips when selecting your eggs at the store, picking clean, uncracked eggs from refrigerated cases. But you hit a bump in the road and one or more of your eggs cracked on the way home. What should you do?

From an anatomical standpoint, birds pass their eggs and feces from the same location. (Gross, but true!) That means the chances of food-borne pathogens like Salmonella sticking to eggshells are high. If the shell has a ***** in it, the door is wide open for bacteria to seep in. For that reason, the CDC recommends avoiding eggs with cracked shells.

To ensure they leave the producers' facilities free of cracks and to classify them according to their grading, eggs go through the process of candling, where individuals evaluate the egg by placing it under a light to detect defects. While this catches cracked eggs, the accuracy is low, as the naked eye cannot see micro-cracks. Researchers are still developing technology to detect cracks more efficiently. As a shopper, your best option is to look at the eggs before you buy them and avoid eggs with obvious cracks, oozing or eggs stuck to the carton.

Uncracked eggs can be stored up to 3 to 5 weeks from the date of purchase, as per the consumers' Foodkeeper App, as long as they are kept in the fridge at 40°F or below. Keeping them in their original cartoon helps prevent damage. Keep eggs away from foods with a strong odor as smells can seep through the shell. The placement of eggs in the fridge also matters. Keeping eggs on the inner shelves instead of the door can minimize the eggs from moving around and cracking.

Eating cracked eggs may pose more risks than benefits. To ensure your eggs are intact and damage-free, check their physical appearance before leaving the grocery store. Handling the egg carton with care during transportation and storing them properly at home will minimize the chances of eggs getting cracked and going bad.

In 1992, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) amended its Egg Regulations to restrict movement of Canada C eggs (cracks) to federally registered processed egg stations for pasteurization. This was questioned by egg producers and some provinces on economic grounds. It was also in conflict with long-standing practices of marketing eggs in some provinces to retail stores, bakeries, restaurants and institutions or at the farm gate. In order to determine how much of a risk these eggs were to human health, AAFC requested that the Health Protection Branch (HPB) of Health Canada (HC) conduct a risk assessment. On the basis of outbreak data, the main hazard in these eggs was identified as Salmonella. Salmonellae may occasionally be present on shell eggs even after washing, and any Salmonella reaching the membranes can be transferred to an egg mixture through breaking, and will rapidly grow under improper storage conditions. A Relative Risk analysis showed that cracked eggs are 3 to 93 times more likely than uncracked shell eggs to cause outbreaks. A probability of illness of 1 in 3800 was derived from the 40 million cracked eggs produced in Canada and not pasteurized and the probable 10,500 illnesses arising from these. This was for the general population, but this would be greater for those who consume many shell eggs or would do so in an unsafe manner, or are more likely to be infected (5% of consumers who eat raw or lightly cooked eggs daily, rural communities with more opportunities for obtaining cracked eggs, and those who are immunocompromised and in institutions). Even though it is not possible to precisely determine the risk of salmonellosis through cracked eggs, this assessment indicated that there was enough of a concern that a management strategy was needed. Eight options for managing the risk were considered and ranked for acceptability by both HC and AAFC. Ideally, all cracked eggs should be broken and pasteurized, but this is impractical in certain regions of the country, and other options, such as sales to food processors operating under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and at the farm gate in marked cartons and under controlled conditions, were considered to be acceptable, whereas sales to institutions and bakeries were not. This is the first fromal food-related microbiological risk assessment that HC has completed. Although this is a Canadian problem, any country producing eggs has to recognise that despite any regulations controlling the use of cracked eggs, economics will dictate that some of these will be consumed as whole eggs or egg products, and a management plan is desirable to limit hazardous practices associated with these eggs. 2b1af7f3a8
