Egg Expiry Myths Busted: Fridge Eggs Safe for Weeks, Even Months!
- •Eggs stored continuously at 4°C or below in the fridge are typically safe for 3-5 weeks.
- •"Best-before" dates indicate quality, not safety; eggs can be safe past this date if properly stored.
- •Older eggs are safe if cooked thoroughly, especially good for boiling as they peel easily.
- •Perform a smell test or check for unusual color/odor when cracked to identify spoiled eggs.
- •For longer storage (up to a year), freeze broken, mixed whites and yolks in an airtight container.
Why It Matters: Properly stored eggs remain safe for weeks in the fridge and up to a year frozen, debunking expiry myths.
