If eggs crack on the way home, break them into a clean container, cover it tightly, keep refrigerated, and use within two days. When preparing, be sure to cook eggs thoroughly, with both the white and yolk firm. Tip: Always check eggs for cracks before buying them at the grocery store.
Please contact the retail outlet where you purchased the eggs if any eggs are missing or broken. There, you could apply for refund or exchange.
