I'm new to the forum and I have a couple of questions regarding the handling of beef and eggs.
I purchased a roast of grass-fed beef at a farmers market in Toronto today. It was wrapped in butcher paper and was frozen. In a few areas, the paper had been torn and the frozen beef was exposed. I didn't notice at first because the paper and the beef are of a similar colour.
There are only a few small areas like this. Do you think it is safe to defrost, cook and consume?
I also bought some eggs from another more permanent market. When cracking the eggs I got some raw egg on my hand. Before washing my hands took more eggs from the container and then put it back in the fridge. Do you think the raw egg that I transferred to the container will pose a danger? Could it go bad and contaminate other food or might it be bad if I touch the container later?
Also, I didn't do a very good job of cracking the eggs and got some shell into my eggs in the pan. I fished most of it out but I think there was some that I missed and consumed. I didn't wash the eggs before and upon inspecting the remaining eggs later I noticed what looked like a little bit of a feather.
What are the chances that I will get sick from eating some dirty eggshell?
Thanks so much for any input!
