Eggs

As bought, in the fridgeabout 4 weeks

Estimates for quality, not a safety ruling. What the dates mean

Eggs keep for about 4 weeks in the fridge, counted from when you buy them. That's SnapLarder's estimate for eggs in general. If the packet has a date, go by the packet: it's specific to that product.

UK supermarkets often sell eggs unchilled, but keeping them in the fridge helps them last.

Can you eat eggs after the use-by date?

No. A use-by date is about safety: don’t eat them after it, even if they look and smell fine. If the packet says best before instead, that’s about quality: check them, and they’re often fine for a while after. Use by vs best before

Can you freeze eggs?

Not really. Eggs don't freeze well: the texture changes when they thaw.
