Refrigerated eggs can become unsafe to eat if left in heat for several hours, as heat can promote the growth of harmful bacteria like Salmonella. Eggs should be kept at a safe temperature (below 40°F or 4°C) to minimize bacterial growth. If eggs have been exposed to temperatures above 90°F (32°C) for more than two hours, it's best to discard them to ensure food safety. Always prioritize proper food handling to avoid health risks.
