How long will eggs in shells stay good out of the refrigerator at room temperature?

Fresh eggs, typically store-bought, can last up to 2 weeks at room temperature. Eggs that are past the expiration date printed on the carton should not be consumed. Once the eggs have been out of the refrigerator, it's best to keep them out and store them at room temperature for the remainder of their shelf life. Avoid returning them to the fridge, as this can cause condensation on the eggs and promote bacterial growth.

For extended storage, eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 weeks, following their expiration date.

Remember to always check the expiration date on the egg carton and follow appropriate food safety guidelines to ensure food quality and freshness.
