\n What is the best way to store shell eggs?<\/span>\n <\/dt>\n\n
\n

Store shell eggs in a refrigerator on an inside shelf in their original carton, because eggs can absorb refrigerator odors.<\/p>\n <\/dd>\n\n \n

\n What is the best way to store egg products?<\/span>\n <\/dt>\n\n
\n

Egg products should be stored according to manufacturers\u2019 instructions, which will vary by product type and format. All egg products should be used well within expiration dates.<\/p>\n

Dried eggs should be kept cool at less than 50\u00b0F (10\u00b0C) to maintain quality.<\/p>\n

Frozen products should be stored at or below 0\u00b0F (-17\u00b0C) and show no signs of having been thawed.<\/p>\n

Refrigerated egg products should be kept at or below 40\u00b0F (4\u00b0C).<\/p>\n <\/dd>\n\n \n

\n How long will shell eggs keep?<\/span>\n <\/dt>\n\n
\n

Fresh shell eggs can be kept refrigerated in their carton for up to 12 weeks beyond the pack date. Quality losses should be insignificant if the eggs are refrigerated as soon as possible after purchase from a refrigerated case. Hard-cooked eggs can be kept in the refrigerator for up to one week.<\/p>\n <\/dd>\n\n \n

\n Is it safe to eat raw eggs?<\/span>\n <\/dt>\n\n
\n

The risk of food poisoning from eggs is highest with raw and lightly-cooked dishes. It\u2019s best not to serve raw or lightly-cooked dishes made with eggs.<\/p>\n <\/dd>\n\n \n

\n What is the nutritional content of an egg?<\/span>\n <\/dt>\n\n
\n

Eggs are an all-natural, high-quality protein powerhouse. One large egg is a good or excellent source of 8 essential nutrients, high-quality protein and antioxidants, all for 70 calories.<\/p>\n <\/dd>\n\n \n

\n Is there a difference between white and brown eggs?<\/span>\n <\/dt>\n\n
\n

No. Shell color is determined by the breed of hen and is not related to quality, nutrients, flavor or cooking characteristics.\u00a0Download PDF<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/dd>\n\n \n

\n Why are U.S. eggs refrigerated?<\/span>\n <\/dt>\n\n
\n

Refrigeration maintains overall egg quality and functionality. It also extends the shelf life of eggs. Refrigerated eggs retain moisture longer, which ensures their safety because fewer microbial issues arise.\u00a0Download PDF<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/dd>\n\n \n

\n What functionality do eggs provide?<\/span>\n <\/dt>\n\n
\n

Eggs supply foods with more than 20 functional properties, including aeration, binding, coagulation, emulsification, foaming and whipping to name just a few. Not only do they have all this functionality, egg ingredients perform these functions under rigorous processing conditions in modern food manufacturing.\u00a0Download PDF<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/dd>\n\n <\/dl><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":39176,"parent":39128,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-39175","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nFAQs -
