Eggs expired dec 25th still ok?

[Anonymous]

I swear I just bought these eggs a couple weeks ago but I must have forgotten to check the date. I need to make muffins for an event tomorrow. Do you think they are still ok? I really don't feel like going to the store tonight .

Crack one open. Does it smell like sulfur? If it doesn't smell bad, it's fine.

Put them in a bowl of water. If they sink = okay. ( that includes sitting on the round end on the bottom)
If they float (nothing on bottom)= trip to the store

Don't risk it (if you are making muffins for others!)

Oh my God. Of course they are fine.

They are fine. Eggs last for months past the date stamped on the carton.

Fine

Oh my God. Of course they are fine.

And if they aren't? Thanks for the bad muffins, food poisoning. Just go to the store!

It's a sell by date. Not expiration.

There is a reason one is supposed to crack eggs into a different bowl than the one they're mixing into. If the egg smells, it's bad. This rule is true no matter what the date on the carton is. There is no reason to throw away eggs that are probably perfectly good without even testing them.
