Eggs are nature’s survival pods. They come pre-packaged in a hard shell with a protective cuticle called the "bloom." That little coating keeps air and bacteria out for weeks.

Use By vs Best Before: The Food Date Labels Everyone Gets Wrong – One

In many countries, eggs aren’t even refrigerated at the store. The U.S. washes them, which removes the bloom, so we refrigerate them. But once they’re cold, they stay good for 3 to 5 weeks past the pack date.

So that egg you’re afraid of? It’s basically a canned good with a cute shape. Respect the shell, but fear not the date.

My Personal Egg Story

Last winter, I found a carton of eggs behind a jar of pickles. They were three weeks past the date. I did the float test, and they stood on their heads, looking smug.

I made a frittata. It was delicious. I didn’t die. I didn’t even get a tummy ache. I just added extra cheese to celebrate my bravery.

Now, I buy eggs in bulk when they’re on sale, and I use them for a month. I’ve become the egg whisperer. You can too.
