Don't american eggs need to be refrigerated and cannot be eaten raw or something ridiculous

They are washed with harsh chemicals, leading to the destruction of the natural protective layer (that protective layer prevents germs like salmonella from entering the egg)

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.
