A: Hi there! While eggs can last past the date on the carton, our recommendation and the safest route is always to consume them prior to that expiration date listed on the carton to ensure you are getting the freshest eggs. We always defer to the USDA's suggestion for safe consumption of eggs, and they suggest you can consume eggs for up to 3-5 weeks after bringing them home and storing them properly, but remember to always trust your senses first and foremost. You can find more information on the safe handling of eggs on the USDA website here - https://ask.usda.gov/s/article/How-long-can-you-store-eggs-in-the-refrigerator Please email us at info@vitalfarms.com if you have any further questions.

Please shoot us an email to info@vitalfarms.com if you have any other questions.

A: Hi Je! It is always our intention for our eggs to be unfertilized as our flocks are typically a girls only affair. It would be extremely rare to get a fertile egg from us in any of our brands. While that is the case, our eggs are not guaranteed to be unfertilized. When our farmers receive the teenage hens from a pullet raiser, we do very occasionally get a rooster or two. As some of our farmers let them stay on the farm, there is a very small possibility that some eggs might be fertilized. That is a rarity though, so it would not be common to receive any fertile eggs from our ladies. Even if an egg were to be fertilized, our eggs are cooled upon collection and kept cold until they are purchased, which would prevent incubation.

A: There was a system glitch that caused the label info to disappear from the site. We are working to get it added back. Thank you for your patience.
