Question

Raw shell eggs must be received in refrigerated equipment that keeps them at a temperature of _______ or less. 41°f 45°f 50°f 70°f

Answer 1

The correct answer is forty-five (45) degrees Fahrenheit.

Raw Shell Eggs are received in 45 degrees fahrenheit refrigerators to prevent the yolks from drying out and to preserve their freshness. Raw Shell Eggs should be handled carefully, since they are fragile and one must also take precautions when handling raw eggs, since they may hold salmonella, but it is less likely to occur.
