Are eggs stamp a “best before date” or an “expiration date”?

Answered by Egg Farmers of Ontario July 2nd, 2020

Answer

Eggs are stamped with a “best before” date, which can also be found on the carton. This date (28 to 42 days from the packaging date) indicates how long the eggs will maintain their Grade A quality. If kept refrigerated, they can be consumed up to one or two weeks after that date.
