Can't reply in-line to the child post, but this is a cultural difference. In Europe, eggs aren't refrigerated at all, and they're not washed. In the US, eggs are washed and they're sold in chillers.

- rlm 12y agoEurope is not a single country. Some countries have refrigerated eggs, some have non-refrigerated. Denmark - European - refrigerated eggs. See also: Every other discussion about refrigerated eggs on HN. As far as I know, once refrigerated, always refrigerated. But if your eggs have never been refrigerated there is no need to.
- ams6110 12y agoPretty sure the refrigeration is just for shelf life. Refrigerated eggs are good for months (even though the expiry date might lead you to believe otherwise). I don't know about non-refrigerated but I would guess they can't be stored as long.
