Why does an egg go bad so much easier after boiling it?

193 views

Chicken eggs generally keep for several weeks, and they can be stored in room temperature just fine.

However, a boiled egg requires that it be refridgerated, and will still only keep for a couple of days.

The egg remains within its shell, shielded from bacteria. Why does the act of boiling the egg make it go bad so much faster?

Hard boiled eggs are sold (at least in Germany) without refrigeration and will keep longer than fresh eggs and at least a few weeks
