Do Eggs Expire? Here's How Long They Actually Stay Fresh

Egg carton best-by dates are freshness guides, not hard expiration dates.

Refrigerated eggs usually stay good for 3-5 weeks, and often 1-2 weeks longer, if stored properly.

Keep eggs in their carton in the coldest part of the fridge to help preserve quality.

Hard-boiled and frozen eggs have different storage lifespans, and the water float test can help spot spoiled eggs.
