There is NO at-home trick, test, or hack for detecting “bad eggs;” bacteria can be present INSIDE an egg of ANY age! 👉🏻How?

How to know if your eggs are expired.Do the float test: gently set your egg into a bowl or cup of water. If the egg sinks, it is fresh. If it tilts upwards or even floats, it is old.This is because as an egg ages, the small air pocket inside it grows larger as water is released and replaced by air. If the air pocket becomes large enough, the egg may float.While this method may tell you whether an egg is fresh or old, it doesn’t tell you whether an egg is good or bad.Follow for more tips 🌸#eggs
