That is due to EU regulations. We used to have 4 weeks on eggs in Norway, but was forced to limit it to 2 weeks. Apparently it was all about salmonella risk, even though that is very rare in our eggs.

I've learnt something today. I don't think I have ever looked at the expiry date on eggs here in Norway and I've been here over thirty years! I definitely keep eggs for longer than two weeks unrefrigerated.
