How much to store chicken eggs?
In accordance with GOST, all chicken eggs on sale are divided into 3 categories: diet, fresh table and chilled. The shelf life of dietary eggs does not exceed 7 days from the time of laying. The shelf life of fresh table eggs is much longer - up to 30 days. Chilled eggs can be stored for longer.
Optimum conditions for storing eggs at home are also provided. Since you need to store chicken eggs in the refrigerator, sudden changes in temperature should be avoided. Boiled eggs, unpeeled, can lie for no more than 4 days, and proteins placed in a hermetically sealed container can remain usable for 2 days. Prolonged storage can lead to infection of eggs with pathogenic microbes that cause food poisoning.
