“The European Union won’t take chicken from America. They won’t take lobsters from America. They hate our beef because our beef is beautiful and theirs is weak. It’s unbelievable” Lutnick told FoxNews (nypost.com)

Apparently, it's to combat salmonella contamination from fecies on the shell.

European countries instead vaccinate their chickens, have higher hygiene and biosecurity standards (with regular inspections) for farms and frequently collect the eggs to avoid any surface contamination without having to wash their eggs.

But we just hope that harsh chemicals will cover up the natural consequences of our inhumane practices. So I can see both sides.

Please send help. We're disgusting.

That's why European eggs are so much more expensive.... Right?

I see your /s and raise you 1.99 for barn, 2.39 for free-range, 3.39 for organic, 10pcs each, all without chick shredding. And 2.49 for cooked and painted barn eggs. (Those are actually available pretty much all-year round: First customers complained that they could only buy cooked eggs around Easter, then other customers complained that they unwittingly bought cooked eggs because they looked like all the others so now they're painting eggs year-round).
