1. Refrigerated Eggs:
Stay fresh for: 3 to 5 weeks after the pack/purchase date
Storage temp: Around 40°F (4°C)
Best to keep them in the original carton (helps prevent moisture loss and odor absorption)
2. Room Temperature (Unrefrigerated):
Stay fresh for: 1 to 2 weeks, depending on climate
In cool, dry climates, they might last a bit longer
In warm/humid areas, spoilage is faster.

2 weeks without refrigeration and up to 3 months when refrigerated

14-21 days at room temperature unless stored properly which can elongate it to 3-4 months

Eggs are perishable and must be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. 4 to 5 weeks beyond the pack date or about 3 weeks after purchase.

Table eggs, when properly refrigerated, generally stay fresh for 3-5 weeks from the date they were placed in the refrigerator. This timeframe applies even if the “Sell-By” or “Best By” date on the carton has passed, provided they have been stored correctly, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
