> I make a number of foods with egg yolks. I'd really like to keep the
whites for later consumption. Does anybody know how long egg whites will
last in a refrigerated, sealed container?
According to the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency), use cooked egg
whites within 4 days.

The FDA recommends use of cooked eggs stored in the refrigerator within 1
week.

These guidelines are likely based more on food quality than food safety
concerns because virtually all pathogens appreciably stop growing below 4C
(40F).
