How Long Do Eggs Stay Fresh!?
According to the American Egg Board (www!.AEB!.org) here's your answer!. This is assuming you need to know about raw eggs in their shells and not hard-boiled!.
"The oil coating which seals the shell's pores helps to prevent bacteria from entering the egg and reduces moisture loss from the egg!. RAW SHELL EGGS REFRIGERATED IN THEIR CARTONS WILL KEEP FOR ABOUT 4 TO 5 WEEKS BEYOND THE PACK DATE WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT QUALITY LOSS!. (The pack date is usually a number from 1 to 365 representing the day of the year starting with January 1 as 1 and ending with December 31 as 365!.)"
"Properly handled and stored, eggs rarely "spoil"!. If you keep them long enough, they are more likely to simply dry up! But, don't leave eggs out at room temperature!. They'll age more in 1 day at room temperature than they will in 1 week in the refrigerator!. Room temperature is also an ideal temperature for bacterial growth!."
