Q. How long will eggs keep? A. Fresh eggs, which are kept refrigerated, will last 4 to 5 weeks. Raw whites (out of the shell) will keep up to 4 days if refrigerated in a tightly closed container.Unbroken raw yolk should be covered with water in a tightly closed refrigerated container and used within 1 to 2 days.n a cold fridge, eggs will keep for several weeks beyond to expire date. Like on a lot of foods, that is the date until which freshness is guaranteed. When that date comes and goes, most of the food remains plenty wholesome and tasty. Just an FYI, but you can freeze eggs.
