Frequently Asked Questions

Why are eggs in the dairy section?

Eggs are shelved with dairy because they need refrigeration and are commonly purchased alongside milk and butter. They are not actually a dairy product.

Is there a difference between white and brown eggs?

The color depends on the breed of hen. Nutritionally, white and brown eggs are identical. Brown eggs tend to cost more because the hens that lay them are larger and eat more feed.

How long do eggs last in the fridge?

Eggs typically last 3-5 weeks past the pack date when refrigerated. The sell-by date is a guide for the store; eggs are usually good well beyond that date.
