Stores must pull eggs (and other items, like milk) from their shelves after the sell-by date, but they are still safe for consumption for an additional 2-4 weeks, typically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-egg-carton-says-sell-by-feb-8#post-563008 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 02:47:32 +0000 luckypenny 563008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They're good for 3-4 weeks apparently! </p> <p><a href="http://www.eatbydate.com/eggs-shelf-life-expiration-date/" rel="nofollow">http://www.eatbydate.com/eggs-shelf-life-expiration-date/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-egg-carton-says-sell-by-feb-8#post-562946 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 23:07:48 +0000 betsyboop 562946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: Wow this is such a useful tip!

If it stays down on the bottom or even stands up while still touching the bottom, it's good. If it floats, it's not fresh anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-egg-carton-says-sell-by-feb-8#post-562717 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 20:05:10 +0000 Trailmix 562717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used eggs at least a week if not more like 2 weeks past their 'sell by' date! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-egg-carton-says-sell-by-feb-8#post-562669 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 19:36:15 +0000 betsyboop 562669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies!
