Egg Freshness: Storage Tips, Shelf Life & Spoilage Signs

• Eggs have an expiry date and can cause food poisoning (Salmonella) if spoiled.
• Uncracked eggs are safe for 3-5 weeks when stored correctly.
• Signs of spoilage include a bad smell, floating in water, or a sloshing sound when shaken.
• Store eggs in their original carton in the refrigerator for optimal freshness.
• Avoid freezing whole eggs in their shells; yolks can be frozen for up to a year.
