Is it unhealthy to leave the broken eggshells in the carton with the unbroken ones?

Question

okay for as long i can remember my mother and grandmother would break the shells, poor the egg out and put the shell back in its spot in the carton and then one day my roommate was like "Why do you put them back in there, isn't that unhealthy?"

So is it unhealthy?!

Answer 1

No, that is not unhealthy at all.

I think the only "problem" it poses is that it may leak through the carton if you aren't careful and make a small mess in your fridge, but for the most part it is absolutely fine.

Answer 2

Not at all but most people throw them in the trash with the rest of the garbage.

Answer 3

dont worry as long as the other eggs arnt broken

Answer 4

i dont know if its healthy but its a waste of egg,money and its nasty

Answer 5

if you don't get all the egg out of the used egg shell and put the egg shells back in , it can cross contamiate but only if there's egg still in the shell. other wise your fine.
