Eggs stored properly in the fridge (at or below 40°F / 4°C) usually last about 3–5 weeks from the time you bring them home, and hard‑boiled eggs last about up to 1 week in the fridge.

Quick Scoop

  • Raw whole eggs in the shell: about 3–5 weeks in the fridge when stored at or below 40°F.
  • Raw eggs out of shell (yolks or beaten eggs): generally up to 2–4 days in the fridge in a covered container.
  • Raw egg whites: up to about 4 days in the fridge.
  • Hard‑boiled eggs (peeled or in shell): up to 7 days in the fridge.

Simple safety checks

  • Smell: If the egg smells sulfurous or “off,” throw it out.
  • Look: Discard if you see cracks, leaks, or unusual colors or a slimy texture after cracking.
  • Timing: When in doubt and the date is fuzzy, it’s safer to toss than risk food poisoning.

Mini FAQ style

  • “Can I eat eggs past the sell‑by date?”
    Often yes: if they’ve been refrigerated, eggs can stay safe about 3–5 weeks beyond purchase, even if the sell‑by date has passed, as long as they look and smell normal.
  • “Do hard‑boiled eggs last as long as raw?”
    No; once cooked, they’re best used within about a week in the fridge.
