Egg Expiry: Know if your eggs are fresh with this simple trick.

• Eggs have a shelf life and can harbor Salmonella; commercial cartons show 'pack date' (use within 7-10 days) or 'Best By' dates.
• A simple water test reveals egg freshness: fresh eggs sink horizontally, slightly old ones stand upright, and very old ones float.
• When buying, check cartons for pack dates, moisture, and shells for cracks; avoid eggs with a strong sulfur smell.
• Store eggs in their original carton inside the refrigerator (35-40°F/2-4°C), avoiding the fridge door to maintain consistent temperature.

Why It Matters: Learn to identify fresh eggs and store them safely to prevent health risks.
