How can you tell whether or not a shell egg is good before cracking it open? Fill a small bowl with water. Put the egg in the water. If it sinks, it's a good egg. If it floats, it's bad.
Most shell eggs are good for about 30 days beyond the expiration date on the carton.
If you are preparing a food item that calls for raw eggs that will not be cooked (Caesar dressing, for example), it is recommended that you use a pasteurized liquid egg product to ensure food safety. Uncooked shell eggs can transfer Salmonella bacteria to your food and cause Salmonellosis (a nasty foodborne illness for which the symptoms include: diarrhea, abdominal cramps, vomiting and fever.)
