How Long Can Eggs Stay Fresh in Your Fridge? Know the Safe Storage Limits!

• Eggs are generally safe for 3 to 5 weeks when stored in a refrigerator at 4 degrees Celsius or below.
• Older eggs may have flatter yolks and thinner whites, but are still safe to eat if thoroughly cooked.
• Thorough cooking is essential for older eggs, especially for dishes like omelets, scrambled eggs, or baked items, to eliminate bacteria.
• Perform a smell test or check for unusual color/odor on a plate to identify spoiled eggs; discard immediately if found.
• For long-term storage, eggs can be frozen for up to one year after cracking, mixing whites and yolks, and storing in an airtight container.

Why It Matters: Proper refrigeration and cooking ensure eggs remain safe and nutritious for weeks, even months if frozen.
