What to look out for before eating an egg
If you break egg and see if it has a pink or iridescent hue throw it away immediately.
According to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), discoloration or iridescence, however mild, may indicate a lesion due to Pseudomonas bacteria.
This is the most common type of lesion in egg and eating eggs contaminated with such bacteria can lead to food poisoning, experts say.
"This bacterium produces a greenish, fluorescent, water-soluble pigment in the egg white. "If you come across an egg with an egg white of a normal color, throw it away," experts at the Egg Safety Center advise.
In addition to paying attention to pink, or iridescent coloration, according to a study, there are other signs that your eggs are infected with Pseudomonas bacteria.
"Rotten eggs emit different foul odors, such as sour, moldy, or fruity," says a study published in the journal Poultry Science.
"Apart from the changes in the color of the egg white, which can also sometimes appear green, the egg white liquefies, becomes fibrous and forms an off-white and later brown crust on the yolk," the researchers added.
