While eggs can last past the date on the carton, our recommendation and the safest approach is to consume them before that date to ensure you are getting the freshest eggs. We defer to the FDA’s guidance on the safe consumption of eggs. They recommend consuming eggs within 3-5 weeks of purchase when kept in their original container and stored in a clean refrigerator at a temperature of 40 F or below.
You can find more information on the safe handling of eggs on the FDA website.
