I see it more often on Bio eggs. Idk, you americans always buy the cheapest unhealthy thing, idk if you know what bio is. You also have food 3 times bigger than normal size so your animals grow faster with their modified food.
@@tfdsuikp the inside of eggs are sterile, the shell carries bacteria. If you aren’t cracking your eggs on a flat surface you’re running the risk of shell fragments going into the egg.
Yes because you most likely cook them anyways. Sadly some people consume them without using a process that eliminates bacteria, leading to increased cases of food poisoning. FDA doesn't want that so they require businesses to refrigerate them.
If you buy them refrigerated at the stores, refrigerate at home and if they are kept outside, then you can do the same. Just copy what they do at the stores.

One good part about living in such a rural area is that it's pretty easy to find people that sell fresh eggs. We buy ours from an older lady that keeps chickens and keep them in a basket on the counter. Each dozen is a variety of brown, white, blue-ish green, huge and small eggs. We were paying $2 a dozen but she recently had to raise the price to $3 cuz of the cost of feed going up but it's still a better deal for fresh eggs. You really can tell the difference, especially in the yolks. They're much more orange and richer than the ones from the grocery store.
As a South African I can confirm that we do not refrigerate our eggs Edit 1:thx for the likes this is the most I've ever gotten on yt lol Edit 2:Damn 👁️👄👁️
Ikr? 😂 I'm from Denmark and here we have to refrigerate store bought eggs as well.I never heard aboit the UK being different. After all you used to be part of EU as well and I'm pretty sure there are common standards/rules. Why did you leave? 😢
I live in Germany, and here it is basically the same. Sometimes you can even still find poo or feathers on the egg shell. But most people will still refrigerate them to make them last longer.
Bruh in Philippines we don't wash the egg they just gonna check the inside to make sure that the egg have no baby chicks inside and then its ready to sell💀
You don't need to vaccinate the hens in order to have shelf stable eggs. My family raised chickens when I was a child. The key is not to wash them until you're ready to eat them. They have a natural coating on the shell when freshly layed which prevents them from going bad for quite a while. We always left them on the counter instead of refrigerating them.
That's what I was always told I use to get eggs from a friend who's family had chickens when I got them you could see pieces of hay on the eggs as they didn't wash them
Yeah but if you don’t wash them then you have poopy salmonella eggs sitting on your counter. Probably fine if you store them carefully but pretty gross. My chickens straight up poop right where they lay there eggs.
@@Twink6629-lg3te so here's the thing...the stuff in their digestive system IS what actually coats the egg and protects it from deteriorating and going bad whether the egg is fertilized or not. It is nature's way of preserving it.
It's not required here in RU but almost everyone do this simply by habit and to make sure the eggs are as fresh as they can be. Everyone have an egg holder in the fridge so why not use it? According to the RU standard for the chicken eggs (GOST R 52121-2003) you can store regular eggs for 25 days outside the fridge. If they were washed then by this standard their shelf life is 12 days. These numbers are for the room temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.
In Nigeria I don’t think we hardly ever put egg in the fridge. We just store it in our pantry then when we want to use it, we just take the amount and wash it then use Edit: yes we put eggs in fridges, but not usually And yes I am Nigerian
YES! It has NOTHING to do with vaccination, this is a lie. Unwashed eggs pass through the same opening that chicken feces passes through, so you have to wash the eggs and your hands or you have feces on them when cracking them. In the US they prewash, but the downside is it removes a protective coating, and so needs refrigeration. There is no one or other better way.
I'm in South Carolina, USA. I have my own ducks and chickens. We just leave them on the counter in a small basket. We wash what we need when we use them.
@angelpascual6422 My mom doesn't want me to eat my grandma's eggs, because she actually leaves them sitting out for a month, my mom's surprised that my dad isn't sick 🤢
im german and i get my eggs straight from the farm. sometimes in the summer i can even pick up some fresh laid eggs, and theres a sign saying eggs are best when you let them rest some days (dont remember the exact number) and then refrigerate, they can be good for some weeks and more fun facts. but i do refridgerate them dont know and dont care if i have to
We are a big country and many people go to work and would not drive 1 hour to a farm for eggs.🥚 we are not socialist & we get up each morning to a job or, career. No Big Brother government unless you are a minority
A lot of people still refrigerate them partly to extend their shelf life, but also because it keeps the eggs from getting loose, which is good for when you're making eggs in the morning 😊. Also, we don't have any salmonella in the UK in commercial eggs so you could eat them raw if you wanted.
I dont think it really extends the shelf life in any meaningful way unless you're keeping a pack of six eggs for two months. I regularly eat eggs 2 weeks or more past their best before and they never seem to be spoiled. Not kept in fridge. I think people who keep their eggs in the fridge in the UK are largely doing it out of either paranoia or force of habit.
Americans also have creepy pure white eggs... eggs are brown!! I am a new zealander and put my eggs in the fridge so they last longer, but I could just keep them on my bench. That's how the supermarket sells them
Completely different reason as to why you should refrigerate your eggs in Australia, the heat in Australia causes the eggs to go bad, so in order to keep them from going bad, we put them in the fridge
@@dud3655Lmao that could be another reason but our (meaning myself and my family) main reason for putting eggs in the fridge is because they go bad way too fast because of the heat.
It's actually the same reason. I'm in the US and I bought a 15 dozen box of eggs and kept it in my pantry. Was fine for several months until it started to get hot in the house before I started using the AC. Lost the last flat of them.
@@grugnotice7746 I- your eggs really lasted that long? Excluding how dangerous that is alone, that is impressive. I’m Hispanic so eggs so not last that long, scrambled eggs and ham is my go to meal when I’m hungry and so eggs only last 2 weeks

And no, I’ve never questioned it, yes I’ve been at a grocery store, butI just didn’t think about it, as teenagers aren’t really all that interested in eggs, or wondering why they are in the fridge at the grocery store, I have bigger problems as well. Don’t comment if you’re just going to act like I’m stupid because I’m an American, honestly I am just ignorant because I am young.
I still keep them in the fridge even if it's not strictly necessary. Also prevents my clumsy ass from accidentally knocking them off the counter or whatever when I'm doing stuff😂
I reside in Germany, where it's also only necessary to refrigerate eggs a few weeks after purchase. However, I make it a point to refrigerate them right after I get home from grocery shopping, to ensure they remain exceptionally fresh until I use them.
@@1DREAMA In Germany, there are eggs of colors mainly brown and white, because the color of the eggs is determined by the breed of the chicken that lays them. The color of the egg depends on the chicken's genetics. Certain chicken breeds naturally lay brown eggs, while others lay white eggs. There are even breeds that can lay eggs in other colors, such as blue or green, but these are less common in Germany.

After their best before date, eggs always have to be refrigerated. However before that, they don't have to be, at least in Germany and the UK (that's basically the whole point, the eggs sold in the US need to be refrigerated immediately after buying). In Germany or the UK, it may even be more harmful to put them in the refrigerator.
Eggs after hatching remain alive for 21 days. That is why they should not be refrigerated. By washing, the pores of the egg shell are opened and the contents are much more easily perishable. In conclusion, eggs are not washed and for the first 21 days they are kept outside the refrigerator. After 21 days, they must be kept in the refrigerator because they can develop salmonella. It has nothing to do with chicken treatments and vaccinations.
This leads to a weird experience in grocery stores outside of the US. You keep going through the refrigerated aisles looking for eggs only to realize they’re on some regular shelf beside the peanut butter and fruit preserves.
In the Philippines, you wash the eggs yourselves. You never need to refrigerate them. They're straight from the farm, sometimes the shells are even covered with poo😅
As someone from the US who gets eggs from my chickens, I can say that I do not have to refrigerate my eggs. I leave them on the counter, unless I need to refrigerate them for a recipe.
Yes, but vaccination has NOTHING to do with it. US chickens are also vaxed and given antibiotics often, however, it has to do with FECES. European eggs have a protective coating AND feces on them, and so have to be washed and your hands washed prior to cracking, eliminating the need for refrigeration but requiring the need for washing yourself and the egg prior to consumption. US eggs are prewashed but need refrigeration. One uses electricity, the other uses water and soap, which is more convenient is debatable.
But when you go to your local Asda or Tesco, where do you find the eggs. In a North American supermarket they are kept in the refridgerated sections of the shop. I lived in Ireland and would keep my eggs in the fridge, but it wasn't necessary. Just felt it kept them fresher
Most people in my town here in the US raise their own chickens, so we don't refrigerate ours either. And a bonus it that you get a variety of pretty colors of eggs. Like blue, green or pink
the "let your food come to room temperature" is the biggest cooking myth. you're searing something in well over 100c oil, the 20ish degrees wont make a difference
That coating is also a helpfull natural barrier to avoid bacteria sticking to the egg (the outer egg shell has pores, meaning everything Will stick to It)
Actually, Australia is one of the countries that washes their eggs, like the US. You need to refrigerate your eggs, if you're buying them from the store.
Usually, if the eggs are freshly laid, they can be stored unrefrigerated for 21 days (21 days because the chick's incubation period takes about that long. The protection of the eggshell becomes porous after this time and allows bacteria or salmonella to pass through) . After the 21 days you can then store them in the refrigerator for a maximum of 2 weeks. (So they would last for a maximum of 35 days.) I learned that in school. It would be advisable to store them directly refrigerated, but then separately, such as on an egg rack or on the bottom shelf, to avoid cross-contamination. Please don't forget that eggs are sensitive to smells and also absorb the smells like milk does too.
What the hell does it mean that they absorb the smell of the milk?!?! And also how the hell they can last that long if my eggs store bought always go bad after like a week while being refrigerated all the time
@@maya_void3923 Sorry, I mean that eggs absorb smells similar like milk does. For example, if you have a salami, fish or a smelling cheese next to the milk or eggs, the products absorb the smell and then taste like it. hope that's understandable. If you live in America, as mentioned in the video, the eggs are washed before they go to the supermarket, which means they lose the protection and spoil more quickly. If you are outside of America, pay attention to the laying date printed on the eggs maybe the eggs are a little older in the market, can happen with imported products.
What are you keeping you milk in that there's a possibility that it could absorb other flavors? I buy mine in plastic containers and have never had it do what you claim. It sounds like whatever containers you're getting are porous and very bad for milk storage or some idiot is drinking from the container and contaminating it with mouth bacteria. Either way, that's gross!
Anything making the US look weird or bad gets so many views. Even if it was only the UK that does this, and America is like the rest of the world in this regard, wording it this way gets more views
In countries where the cuticle isn't removed, you'll see the eggs in stores on shelves, not being cooled. You should still refrigerate them when you get home, as they keep for longer that way. The reason stores don't cool them is that during the trip home from the store, the eggs will be colder than the outside and will have water condense on them, making them spoil even faster
I'm from Malaysia and we don't do refrigerate our eggs at all. It's not washed and dried from the farms so you usually keep them in room temperature and wash them on your own when you want to use it. Never had any problems and they last pretty long (before eventually getting eaten in a month)

You don't need to vaccinate the hens in order to have shelf stable eggs. My family raised chickens when I was a child. The key is not to wash them until you're ready to eat them. They have a natural coating on the shell when freshly layed which prevents them from going bad for quite a while. We always left them on the counter instead of refrigerating them.
That's what I was always told I use to get eggs from a friend who's family had chickens when I got them you could see pieces of hay on the eggs as they didn't wash them
The uk vaccinates the hens so the eggs don’t contain salmonella
he didn't care about the fact that eggs in US is shipped miles away across the state.
meanwhile UK is the same size of Missouri.
Yeah but if you don’t wash them then you have poopy salmonella eggs sitting on your counter. Probably fine if you store them carefully but pretty gross. My chickens straight up poop right where they lay there eggs.
@@Twink6629-lg3te so here's the thing...the stuff in their digestive system IS what actually coats the egg and protects it from deteriorating and going bad whether the egg is fertilized or not. It is nature's way of preserving it.
Russians: “Guess I’m American now”
It's not required here in RU but almost everyone do this simply by habit and to make sure the eggs are as fresh as they can be. Everyone have an egg holder in the fridge so why not use it?
According to the RU standard for the chicken eggs (GOST R 52121-2003) you can store regular eggs for 25 days outside the fridge. If they were washed then by this standard their shelf life is 12 days. These numbers are for the room temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.

YES! It has NOTHING to do with vaccination, this is a lie. Unwashed eggs pass through the same opening that chicken feces passes through, so you have to wash the eggs and your hands or you have feces on them when cracking them.

A lot of people still refrigerate them partly to extend their shelf life, but also because it keeps the eggs from getting loose, which is good for when you're making eggs in the morning 😊.
Also, we don't have any salmonella in the UK in commercial eggs so you could eat them raw if you wanted.
Exactly. The same thing with bread

I dont think it really extends the shelf life in any meaningful way unless you're keeping a pack of six eggs for two months.

Completely different reason as to why you should refrigerate your eggs in Australia, the heat in Australia causes the eggs to go bad, so in order to keep them from going bad, we put them in the fridge
Are you sure it's not to stop them from becoming breakfast due to the usual outside temp being half the boiling temp at which water boils at?
@@dud3655Lmao that could be another reason but our (meaning myself and my family) main reason for putting eggs in the fridge is because they go bad way too fast because of the heat.

I reside in Germany, where it's also only necessary to refrigerate eggs a few weeks after purchase. However, I make it a point to refrigerate them right after I get home from grocery shopping, to ensure they remain exceptionally fresh until I use them.
"A few weeks" bro thats the point smh
@@Q...........- I wrote "also only necessary". Read it again.
Why you always got multi coloured eggs in the shops?!
@@1DREAMA
In Germany, there are eggs of colors mainly brown and white, because the color of the eggs is determined by the breed of the chicken that lays them. The color of the egg depends on the chicken's genetics. Certain chicken breeds naturally lay brown eggs, while others lay white eggs. There are even breeds that can lay eggs in other colors, such as blue or green, but these are less common in Germany.
After their best before date, eggs always have to be refrigerated. However before that, they don't have to be, at least in Germany and the UK (that's basically the whole point, the eggs sold in the US need to be refrigerated immediately after buying). In Germany or the UK, it may even be more harmful to put them in the refrigerator.
The only problem with doing this in the UK is that sometimes you get a few feathers on them 😂. But apart from that everything is fine
I live the UK and still refrigerate eggs.
Reported
Why bother? You probably are born in America
Eggs after hatching remain alive for 21 days. That is why they should not be refrigerated. By washing, the pores of the egg shell are opened and the contents are much more easily perishable. In conclusion, eggs are not washed and for the first 21 days they are kept outside the refrigerator. After 21 days, they must be kept in the refrigerator because they can develop salmonella. It has nothing to do with chicken treatments and vaccinations.
This leads to a weird experience in grocery stores outside of the US. You keep going through the refrigerated aisles looking for eggs only to realize they’re on some regular shelf beside the peanut butter and fruit preserves.

Based farmer
Your eggs are not commercial. Your hens are likely healthy, hence no need to clean the eggs or refrigerate them.
Irrelevant
Yes, but vaccination has NOTHING to do with it. US chickens are also vaxed and given antibiotics often, however, it has to do with FECES. European eggs have a protective coating AND feces on them, and so have to be washed and your hands washed prior to cracking, eliminating the need for refrigeration but requiring the need for washing yourself and the egg prior to consumption. US eggs are prewashed but need refrigeration. One uses electricity, the other uses water and soap, which is more convenient is debatable.

It's called "The Bloom". A natural coating of mucus acquired during the laying process. Eggs without the bloom can not be incubated, either.

That coating is also a helpfull natural barrier to avoid bacteria sticking to the egg (the outer egg shell has pores, meaning everything Will stick to It)

Actually, Australia is one of the countries that washes their eggs, like the US. You need to refrigerate your eggs, if you're buying them from the store.
Usually, if the eggs are freshly laid, they can be stored unrefrigerated for 21 days (21 days because the chick's incubation period takes about that long. The protection of the eggshell becomes porous after this time and allows bacteria or salmonella to pass through) . After the 21 days you can then store them in the refrigerator for a maximum of 2 weeks. (So they would last for a maximum of 35 days.) I learned that in school. It would be advisable to store them directly refrigerated, but then separately, such as on an egg rack or on the bottom shelf, to avoid cross-contamination. Please don't forget that eggs are sensitive to smells and also absorb the smells like milk does too.
What the hell does it mean that they absorb the smell of the milk?!?! And also how the hell they can last that long if my eggs store bought always go bad after like a week while being refrigerated all the time
@@maya_void3923 Sorry, I mean that eggs absorb smells similar like milk does. For example, if you have a salami, fish or a smelling cheese next to the milk or eggs, the products absorb the smell and then taste like it. hope that's understandable.
If you live in America, as mentioned in the video, the eggs are washed before they go to the supermarket, which means they lose the protection and spoil more quickly. If you are outside of America, pay attention to the laying date printed on the eggs maybe the eggs are a little older in the market, can happen with imported products.
Wtf is sarmonella? 😂
What are you keeping you milk in that there's a possibility that it could absorb other flavors? I buy mine in plastic containers and have never had it do what you claim. It sounds like whatever containers you're getting are porous and very bad for milk storage or some idiot is drinking from the container and contaminating it with mouth bacteria. Either way, that's gross!

In countries where the cuticle isn't removed, you'll see the eggs in stores on shelves, not being cooled. You should still refrigerate them when you get home, as they keep for longer that way.
