5 ways to tell if an egg is fresh or rotten

Every year, several million eggs end up being thrown away because the expiration date has passed.

Eggs, which are one of the healthy foods to consume as part of a balanced diet, can last for several weeks in the refrigerator.

But over time, the egg can become poor quality, as the air pocket inside expands and the whites thin.

In this article, let’s go over some tips that will help you know if an egg is still good to eat or if it’s expired.

In France, there are nearly 10 million tonnes of food that end up in the trash every year.

People often prefer to throw away food when the expiration date has passed.

Although in France, the number of eggs that end up being wasted remains unknown, the British media The Guardian, which cites the work of the anti-waste community Too good to go, reports that in the United Kingdom, there are 720 millions of eggs that end up in the trash every year.

The main reason for this waste is the fact that 77% of Brits struggle to know if an egg is fresh after it has passed its use-by date.

Do you want to prepare a brunch but you don’t know how long your eggs have been in the fridge? Do not panic. There are ways to know if they are consumable or not:

The eggs you buy at the supermarket all have a recommended use-by date which is indicated on their packaging.

In addition, French regulations require the distributor to no longer sell eggs 7 days before the minimum durability date (Ddm) written on the packaging, as explained on the Femme Actuelle website.
