White bits in the egg: what are they really and should you be worried?

I was just about to toss my breakfast when I saw something unusual in the pan—but what I learned afterward changed my mind entirely. It all started after a regular grocery trip to our local supermarket.

It’s a store we trust: everything’s fresh, the prices are fair, and we’ve never had any real complaints. We grabbed a dozen eggs, as we do every week, and thought nothing of it.

But the next morning, while making breakfast, I cracked open an egg and noticed something odd. Inside were small white lumps—slightly translucent, jelly-like, and definitely not what I expected to see first thing in the morning. Honestly, it didn’t look very appetizing.
