How long after the expiration date are eggs still good?
Because packers have flexibility in setting expiration dates, and because they opt for longer and shorter periods for a variety of reasons, the more relevant question is how long after packing do eggs stay good. And the answer is a long time. Especially under refrigeration, an egg that isn’t smelly or slimy is most likely safe to eat for months. Certainly, you should expect that eggs will be perfectly fine for six weeks after they’ve been packed. Really, the greater concern is that their taste deteriorates after awhile. I wouldn’t want to eat poached 2-month-old eggs but I might use them in a baking recipe.
