3 to 5 weeks. According to the USDA:
“Eggs may be refrigerated three to five weeks from the day they are placed in the refrigerator.
The “Sell-By” date will usually expire during that length of time, but the eggs will be perfectly safe to use. Always purchase eggs before the “Sell-By” or Exp (expiration) date on the carton.
To keep them safe, take eggs straight home and store them immediately in the refrigerator set at 40 °F or slightly below.
Leave them in their carton and place them in the coldest part of the refrigerator, not in the door. After hard cooking, eggs can be stored a week in the refrigerator. ”
Note the date on this post, then compare with that on the carton in the photo…in our fridge. I think we’re okay for an omelette.
