I was at the grocery store today and watched one of the baggers sorting through several cases of eggs that had been damaged during shipping. He was sitting there, taking unbroken eggs from the damaged cartons, wiping them with a rag and then putting the egg into another carton. The eggs that were merely cracked but still whole were put into a different container. I chatted up this worker to see if I could get some of the damaged eggs (I could use them for dog food). I was told that the busted eggs were used in the deli and bakery. This store employs several differently abled people, so there was no guile in what this person said. He was doing the job that the boss told him to do. I dont think that there is anything wrong with the damaged eggs and using them likely would cause no harm. However, Im sure that the damaged goods were written off to an insurance claim or something. But it got me thinking...if they are repackaging damaged eggs, what stops them from repackaging other damaged or expired food products? Or using them in the in-store bakery and deli?
