The Barney's Extra Large Eggs 30-Pack is a bulk-format tray of Class A poultry eggs sourced from hens maintained on a strictly controlled grain-fed diet.

Safety and Storage Precautions

• Cold Chain Management: Store in the refrigerator at temperatures below 5°C immediately after purchase to maintain internal quality and extend the shelf life.
• Original Packaging: Keep eggs in the original cardboard tray to protect the porous shells from absorbing strong odours from other fridge items like onions or fish.
• Hygiene Standards: To prevent cross-contamination, always wash hands and kitchen surfaces thoroughly after handling raw eggshells or egg contents.
• Thorough Cooking: Ensure eggs are cooked until both the white and yolk are firm to eliminate the risk of foodborne illnesses, particularly for vulnerable individuals.
