How Long Is The Shelf Life Of An Egg

Chicken eggs are produce of poultry farms. As eggs are fragile, the question of its shelf life comes up every now and then. Naturally, the shelf life of an egg is 30 days.

However, there are many factors to consider before expecting your egg to last for 30 days on the shelf. The two [2] major issues are:-

·         It must be kept in a room with a normal room temperature. If the temperature of the room goes higher, it can easily lead to the eggs getting bad. But if the temperature is lowered and regulated, it can last for more than 30 days.

·         Do not allow the eggs to come in contact with water and other liquids. Talking in a layman’s language, water does spoil eggs, thus keep them away from water. Eggs have microscopic spores on its shells by-which it breaths. When water comes in contact with water, it closes it. When this happens, its ability to have access to air is limited which leads to decay.

On another note, you may not know how long the eggs may have been laid before it gets to you. You need to have the confidence of your supplier. This is key.

For egg distributors and retailer to guard against the issue of an eggs shelf life and be on safe side, kindly demand the volume of eggs you can dispose within the interval of a week.
