OxineAh to wash eggs

[Justducky97365]

Do you use OxineAH to wash your eggs that you sell?

Do you spray them, or do you dip them in a solution? If so, what is the ratio?

I don't like the idea of HAVING to wash them, but the inspector says it must be done..

Thanks

I tell the people that get mine that I don't wash them and that they can if they want to. But I don't have an inspector. Eggs will keep longer if they're not washed and I tell people that. I wash the ones I use right before I use them.

I don't use Oxine - although I have some. So I might check into using it. I use a commercial egg wash & follow the manufacturer's directions for how to mix it. You shouldn't immerse the eggs in water or cleaning solutions. I wash them under running water, set on paper towels and pat dry before refrigerating.

They may keep longer without washing - but I wash anyway. All commercial eggs are washed - and we don't keep them around long enough for the whole bloom thing to be an issue. I want only cleaned eggs in the refrigerator with my other food.
