Ink Bleeds Through Egg Shell
I sell my eggs, with a permit, as a local farmer and thought this would be a nice touch. While it is cute, it is not as easy to stamp the eggs as you would think. You essentially have to roll the stamp over the egg, perfectly even to lay the ink. To me, at my scale, it’s more work than it’s worth.<br />But the horror when I had customers contact me on different occasions when they pulled their boiled eggs and the ink from the stamp actually bled through the shell and was stamped on the hard boiled egg whites. Concerned customers about whether they were safe to consume ink.<br />1.) Yes, I purchased the ink that came with the stamp.<br />2.) Yes, I not only reminded them that if they felt threatened by ink, they simply didn’t have to eat the eggs. I’ll return their money. So, I understand that while they were concerned, they could be dramatic.<br /><br />I really had higher hopes for this adorable little stamp. I’ll still use it. But not for my market eggs!! Just be aware that ink will bleed through the egg shells.
