The headline obscures the real point of the article. In the UK we don't need to refrigerate our eggs at the point of production (or spray them with chemicals) because our chickens and eggs are much healthier due to superior and more sanitory production methods than those prevalent in the USA. And so eggs are almost always sold at room temperature and usually refrigerated at home. And, as others have noted, the UK is not synonymous with Europe.

That doesn't feel particularly low risk to me. UK chickens are not clean, which is why there are strict laws for commercial handling of raw meats and a lot of advice for domestic handling of raw meat, especially chicken.
