My sister cooked meat loaf with eggs that said "best if used by sept 26" is that safe?

Question

They were cooked (duh)

And they have never been left out.

Answer 1

I would say yes. Compagnies often put an expiry date that is 10 days before the actual expiry date, to protect themselves.

Answer 2

They are just fine !

I have eggs well over a month past their "use by" date but kept in the frig.

When traveling in Europe I found some Scandinavian countries do not even store them in the frig. They just sit right in the middle of the aisle for aisle, no refrigeration. I now worry ALOT less about eggs, since no one there is dropping dead due the eggs sitting out for weeks.

Answer 3

Not a problem, dearie. I've used eggs up to 5-6 weeks past their date, though I always recommend cracking them individually into a bowl and checking ech one. The use-by date is pretty much a suggestion, in this case of a product safely still in its shell.

Answer 4

Eggs are good for about 6 months. After that they begin to lose nutritional value, but the ones you have from Sept 26 should be fine.

I have cluckers.

Answer 5

I think it should be fine. The eggs were not left out and I am assuming that the meat was cooked properly.

Answer 6

Of course, it is completely safe, since the eggs were cooked in the first place.

Answer 7

eggs are good for about 2 weeks after the due date i only give them a week after just to be safe the use by date id the sell by date

Answer 8

Yea...if kept refrigerated... eggs are good up to a month past the sell by date.

Answer 9

YES THIS IS SAFE , IFYOU BREAK AN EGG THAT HAS GONE BAD YOU WILL KNOW IT IMMEDIATELY ,THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN THE SMELL OF A BAD EGG , AND THE TASTE WOULD BE EVEN WORSE ,

Answer 10

I say it should be fine. Your sister would have noticed they were bad as soon as she cracked one open. Rotten eggs really stink!
