Eggs can typically stay fresh in the refrigerator for about 3 to 5 weeks beyond the pack date or about 3 weeks after purchase when stored properly at 40°F (4°C) or below. It is best to keep them in their original carton on an inside shelf rather than the door to maintain a consistent temperature and prevent odor absorption

. For different types of eggs and preparations, the recommended fridge storage times are:

• Raw whole eggs (in shell): 4 to 5 weeks beyond pack date or about 3 weeks after purchase
• Raw whole eggs (slightly beaten): up to 2 days
• Raw egg whites: up to 4 days
• Raw egg yolks: up to 2 days (if refrigerated in a covered container or covered with water)
• Hard-boiled eggs (in shell): up to 1 week
• Hard-boiled eggs (peeled): best used the same day

Freezing raw eggs (slightly beaten), egg whites, or yolks (with salt or sugar added to prevent gel formation) can extend their shelf life up to 1 year, but freezing whole eggs in the shell or hard-boiled eggs is not recommended

. To maximize freshness, store eggs with the pointed end down in their carton, keep them away from strong odors, and avoid temperature fluctuations by placing them in the coldest part of the fridge rather than the door

. In summary, properly refrigerated eggs in their shells last about 3 to 5 weeks in the fridge, while hard-boiled eggs last about 1 week. Raw eggs out of the shell and egg components have shorter fridge lifespans
