It is safe to eat eggs after the recommended ‘best before’ date. And if you keep your eggs in the fridge, they are safe to eat up to three weeks after the given date. However, the taste and texture may be slightly different to what you’re used to, and for certain dishes, freshest is best. Sarah Howard, head of technical at Heritage Breeds, said: “The best results are always achieved when eggs are as fresh as possible within the best before date. Official advice from the Food Standards Agency states that “eggs can be eaten after their best before date, as long as they are cooked thoroughly until both yolk and white are solid, or if they are used in dishes where they will be fully cooked, such as a cake”. How long are eggs good after the expiration date?
Eggs have a shelf life of 28 days from the date laid. By law, they must reach the final consumer within 21 days from the date they were laid so Brits have seven days to eat them. However, with proper storage, eggs can stay fresh for up to five weeks past the date on the carton. This is because eggs have a ‘best before’ date rather than a ‘use by’ one – which is more to do with safety than quality. How to tell if your eggs have gone off Even if you’ve stored your eggs in the fridge, it is always worth checking if they have gone off before eating. There are several ways to do this, but some are more straightforward than others.
How long do hard-boiled eggs last? Hard-boiled eggs should last about one week after being cooked if stored in the fridge. However, out in the warm, they will only really last a few hours. How to keep eggs fresh For maximum freshness, there are several things you can do.
What other foods should you ditch and are there any you can keep after the best before date? While some foods should indeed be chucked not long after their ‘best before’ date has passed, others you can take with a pinch of salt. Bread – The use by date on bread assumes you’ve left it out in the kitchen. You can extend this by up to two weeks by keeping your loaf in the fridge.
