How Long Can You Keep Eggs For
« on: April 25, 2011, 20:32 »
Hi

Simple question how long can you keep eggs for before selling them? :unsure: I never have them longer than a week but now the girls are starting to lay well :). Bet with the super market it is a couple on months >:(.

Hi Peter,
All the information I have read has said that if you sell eggs that you should sell fresh and put a not out to say to consume within three weeks.  They can be good up till four or so, but I think that this is to keep you right for legal purposes.  I think they are three weeks by the  time they get to the supermarket:(
Am sure others will be along soon with ideas!

I have a feeling DEFRA says 28 days, but you would have to trawl their site.

Hi, i'm sure I read that DEFRA say if you sell your eggs you should say consume within 21 days. I always mark my boxes with that info.
I bet that your eggs don't hang around for that long though, lol? I know my girls can't lay quick enough sometimes as I almost have friends queuing up for their eggs! :) :)
All the best,  Pettrish
