- Frozen, egg dishes keep about 2 to 3 months, well past the window above.
- Keep dairy on the coldest shelf, sealed, and never on the door.
- Store eggs in their carton, not the door, and refrigerate them promptly.
How can you tell if egg dishes have gone bad?
- For eggs, a cracked or leaking shell, or an unusual odor or appearance after cracking. A float test does not establish whether an egg is safe.

Shelf-life windows come from the USDA FoodKeeper, published by the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (public domain); we vendor the FSIS FoodKeeper dataset and refresh it in place. These are quality estimates, not food-safety determinations or guarantees: actual condition depends on storage and handling, and harmful bacteria may not have obvious signs. Follow package and official guidance; when in doubt, throw it out. See our food safety notice and terms.
