If I have some eggs that have a "sell by" date of Oct. 21 can I expect them to still be good for another 2 weeks? I've had them for a couple of weeks already.
I did find this in a Google search and was wondering if it's true or not.
"Proper storage extends egg safety
03-Jun-2004 - Egg quality and usefulness can be safely maintained beyond the sell-by date if the eggs are stored properly - indeed, they can be safely consumed up to four or five weeks beyond the recommended use-by date, claim US researchers this week."
Thanks for any help and clarification. I thought eggs had a storage total of 30 days. Please forgive the simplistic newbie question.
