Were the eggs kept continuously refrigerated?
Is the carton intact and identifiable?
Are the shells cracked or damaged?
Do the eggs show obvious signs of spoilage after cracking?
Have the eggs been handled safely?
USDA explains that food dates generally communicate quality rather than automatically marking the point at which food becomes unsafe. However, food that has been improperly stored or shows signs of spoilage should not be eaten.
When in doubt about an egg that has been mishandled or exposed to unsafe temperatures, the safest choice is to discard it.
