Governor Doug Ducey on Wednesday signed legislation that creates a 45-day expiration date for Grade A eggs. Proponents of the measure said it could help eliminate food waste, and provide out-of-state shippers more time to transport their products to Arizona stores. Grade AA eggs will continue to have a 24-day sell-by date, one of the strictest in the U.S. The proposal received widespread bipartisan support. Food safety experts say eggs are safe to eat even if they’ve left the farm several weeks ago as long as they’ve been properly stored.
