Most eggs sold commercially have been washed, sanitized and sprayed with an oil coating to help preserve quality and wholesomeness. If you wash the eggs at home, it might remove this protective coating. Also, the extra handling might increase the chance of accidentally cracking the shells. Any bacteria present could then be drawn into the eggs through the cracked shells. It is recommended that the eggs be stored in their original carton in the refrigerator to prevent cracking the shells.
