Why US Produced Eggs Are Banned Across Europe (& vice versa)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Because of the difference in USDA regulations and EU regulations on how eggs should be processed before the sale, the eggs produced in the UK become so different from US ones that, it would be illegal to sell British eggs in the US and vice verse. For the same reasons, eggs are refrigerated in the US and not refrigerated in the UK and rest of Europe - Why do some countries refrigerate their eggs and others don't?

At the same time, USDA has laid guidelines for how commercial eggs should be produced, processed and stored to make sure eggs remain safe for public consumption. The UK has their own regulations BUT their regulations are quite opposite to those in the US making it illegal for eggs produced in the UK to be sold in the US and those produced in the US to be sold in the UK.
In the case of American eggs, USDA requires its egg producers egg farms to properly wash and sanitize their eggs before they reach consumers in order to remove any dirt and feces on the exterior of eggs.
Another thing that makes British eggs and American eggs different is how they're stored. In the UK and almost everywhere in Europe, you can see eggs sitting in unrefrigerated shelves of supermarkets. The EU regulation stipulates that eggs should in general not be refrigerated before selling to the final consumer. Chilled eggs, when left outside at room temperature (during transit between supermarket and consumer's home), may sweat and form moisture on its surface facilitating the growth of bacteria and probably their ingression into the egg.
The American system, on the other hand, instructs its seller to refrigerate eggs under 40*F in order to decrease the risk of Salmonella. Salmonella isn't a big problem in the UK because European farmers have been vaccinating their hens against salmonella sie 1990s and have got good results. Vaccination in the US is not a common practice.
Just for clarity: This isn't a British Regulation but rather an EU regulation that is exactly the same in every EU country
So after Brexit (if it ever happens) UK will need to write their own. What will they choose?
@@MrCPPG Probably something similar to the EU one because their farmers are already adjusted to that system. Or they might chose to just keep the old regulation
@@MrCPPG They'll probably keep the system. Fixing what isn't broken will cost them time and money. Everyone wants to avoid wasting time and money.
Brexit will (is) costing the time and money, so I guess that would not stop them.
Depends on whether the UK is forced into accepting US food standards (which are generally much lower) ehen negotiating a trade deal.
“British eggs are significantly richer in taste. But how would you know?”
Any American who has had eggs straight from the chicken coop knows. 🐓 🥚
Precisely, Amanda. The first time I had eggs from a chicken coop, I was blown away.
In the UK...
Free range eggs - rubbish
Organic eggs - good
Back yard Chicken coop - the Best :)
@@PF-gi9vv just curious! How do distinguish between Free range eggs and organic eggs? In my country that's basically the same.Or did you mean free-run eggs?
Pe Bo
Organic must be fed organic feed. Free range and cage free are bullshit terms that mean almost nothing. What you want is organic pasture raised. You’ll find the yolk a deep orange compared stale yellow yolk in all other eggs.
I've had them both way and couldn't tell the difference whatsoever
"Vaccination in the US is not a common practice." Don't know if it was intentional or not, but it still made me laugh.
Do US egg farms vaccinate their egg-laying hens?
@@hobmoor2042 I think they're all vaccinated as chicks to avoid commen diseases
The Daily Egg commen diseases? 🤨
Yea. My neighbor's chickens got that vaccine as a reasonable precaution and selling point because they sold the young layers and chicks.
What made ME chuckle was the fact that the authorities here are desperately trying to CRIMINALIZE not vaccinating YOUR OWN KIDS, and thanks to the last 15+ years of allowing criminal invaders to flood in with everything from bedbugs to bubonic plague and the very latest strains of everything else, these accursed socialists may succeed !
Oh, I'm sure your laughter was indeed intentional. People usually do
intend to laugh when they see or hear something funny. :0)
"The UK has their own regulations"
Text clearly reads "Commission Regulation (European Community)"
That's because UK regulations are pretty much identical to those in rest of the EU
D soon to be gone and the great salmonella race will start.
basically every european country had such regulations before they were just commonized by the EU
Technically the UK still has it's own regulations for everything the EU regulates, it's just that they've been made common with the EU... so it's not technically false albeit maybe a bit misleading.
@@decus9544 That's the case for EU Guidelines, which need to be converted to national law. Regulations are legally binding in and of themselves and aren't converted.

Imagine my shock when first moved to Mexico. I believe the US is unique in their food hygiene. Actually my reverse culture shock was even greater when repatriating the US and rightly miffed about having to take up fridge space with eggs that could otherwise be left outside.
@@jonno.alexander Eggs last longer in the fridge. In smaller countries, you can afford to leave the eggs out because you know the farmer you bought them from, so they are pretty fresh. But when you buy eggs in a supermarket, they are probably weeks old already, and have been shipped across country in a hot semi truck.
eggs in the fridge lmao no. Not in Netherlands
@@nashwagemakers eggs not in the fridge? usually not in Iceland :)
I suspect this is one of many reasons behind my experience in Europe years ago when I was stationed there with the U.S. Navy. Everything just tasted better, fresher and more fulfilling even though you eat in small portions. My parents even remarked over and over during their visit to me, "Why is the food here better? What do they do? I feel good!"
@@drcornelius8275 actually the UK has some of the best cuisines in the world. The whole thing about the UK having the worst food is a false stereotype. I come from Belgium and visited the UK (England to be precise) and they had some of the best fried chicken, fish and chips, hamburgers, etc I have ever tasted, much better than the US.

This is why I want a chicken coop. Farm fresh eggs everyday seem to be the way to go.
I always get mine from my grandparents farm and they don't even compare to the ones in supermarkets :)
Awesome!
Chickens are cheap and easy to take care of. Very rewarding. Get 2 baby chicks to start, make sure they are sexed so you can be reasonably sure they grow up to be hens. They'll start laying between 4.5-7 months old, depending on the breed. During laying season, you'll get up to 60 eggs a month.
You can also ensure the welfare of the hens is kept to a high standard of living for the lifetime of the animal, which is a big plus.
Watch out for fox, sneaky bastards killed two of my neighbors chickens in one day.
Eggs: "Hey I have this natural protective layer that helps me stay fresh for a long time."

Victor Selve it’s so they can sell more... that’s America, the rich getting more rich.
Yall act so high and mightly, and also act like every american is the same damn person. The fuck? Grow up and realize legit every country had problems.
@Jack park: As the video mentioned, in Europe they place responsibility on the farmers to follow cleaner farming practices that reduce the contaminants on the shells.
As for the costs to cool eggs in the U.S.: think of how many tens of thousands of stores all the country that have eggs being refrigerated. That's a lot of shelf space and energy being dedicated to an inefficient method. Think of it on the aggregate level, not the local/anecdotal level.
@Jack park: That's because you're looking at farming practices through the prism of American business and ethical practices. Most of Europe is radically different. I studied this in college. Our farm practices and ethics are horrible. It is centered around reaping as much profit as possible, regardless of the consequences to workers, environment, animal cruelty, working conditions, etc.
Nearly every aspect of our food production is dominated by big ag: crop seeds, the chemicals used by farmers, the kinds of animals raised for food (esp. when it comes to chickens), how the hog/cattle/chicken farm is laid out-operated, in many cases who or where products can be sold, how the meat processing plants are operated, and on and on. The FDA, the USDA, and many state agencies are so in bed with big ag it's unreal.
Here are a few books we read that shed light on the deplorable state of our industrial food production model: "The Meat Racket:..." "The Chain: farm, factory..." "Animal Factory..."
We also read many scientific journals (some of which I have on my pc), and we watched a few documentaries (a couple coming from FrontLine -one on pig and chicken farming, another on the overuse of antibiotics in farming), and we learned about the horrible conditions of tomato pickers in Omachalee, Florida.
The knowledge is out there, you just have to want to learn it and confront your previously held biases.
@Jack park: Such a powerful counter argument.... You know when the other person has no valid argument when they say nothing in return except school yard name calling.
Living in Europe for several years, I have noticed a lot of the eggs I buy still have feathers stuck to them, something I never saw in the US. Now I know why
I always find it cute and funny when a feather sticks on the egg, like a fancy deco
@@Minifutzi_o.O I like it when I get apples with a leaf still attached
I saw feathers on a lot of the eggs I got our of my backyard. If they don't brush off then you don't worry about it until it's time to eat them, then you wash. For modern Americans this doesn't make much sense but this video and several other's I've seen explain the biology behind how it works. Mother nature protects her own!
I dont think anybody wants to see how eggs leaves chicken, but yea, overall it$ pretty cute little
pre-chicken stuff in shell to eat
I sometimes find stuff on the organic eggs I buy at the grocery store. I wonder if they don't have to be washed and sanitized before selling. I try to get eggs from my farmer neighbors and most of those taste much richer and are a deep yellow, almost orange, color. Their shells are often thinner, though.

And so are the chickens that lay them.

@@markc6714 I would like to point out that Petrol and petroleum refer to two different things. Petroleum is the raw, unrefined oil, while Petrol is actually a brand name for motor fuel, while gasoline was the generic term we settled on in America for motor fuels.

Lol so if i find 12 insect heads in my fig paste its totally legal
the big question - "How many insect heads wind up in European fig paste?" Not that I noticed a huge problem, say, with all the Tunisian dates my family bought while we lived in England. But I wasn't looking for insect heads, either.
wasps cultivate the figs
I mean, figs are already full of dead wasps (that's how figs are fertilized, after all) so a few insect heads honestly isn't a worry.

Hmm..
I have eaten Farm fresh eggs and The Taste difference is not that much. I will take the American method and know my eggs are safer.
@@carmelopappalardo8477 agree back in Spain eggs were kind of warm I dont know why and the taste its pretty much the exact same its all up to this spices you use. American method is better since you get more eggs guaranteed to be good and safe
its less about the taste and more about the nutrient values.
Farm fresh eggs as opposed to commerically farmed eggs, tend to have slightly higher mineral levels, and have a richer taste when unseasoned.
Which is important to someone like me, who has a lot of digestive issues where things like salt and pepper are sometimes off the menu.
@@carmelopappalardo8477 But they arent... Quite the opposite were you even watching the video? :D The UK eggs seem to be safer on many different levels.
The figs makes sense bc figs are pollinated by wasps, who often die in the fig.
for what I remember every mature fig has a male wasp in it
delicious.
Wasps also spawn inside figs. It is where they have their young larvae grow so I was told.
Gah, I just ate a raw fig from my tree this morning.
the reason why vegan don't eat fig...
The poor feed for chickens seems more of a problem for the decreasing rich taste of an egg btw
Free range chooks get much more variety. What's really surprising to some is that with free range ducks, when they've been eating a lot of vegetable matter, the egg yolks can turn out a vivid deep green rather than the usual orange/yellow.
Someone I know took advantage of that to feed his kid "green eggs and ham" (and yes, the kid's name was Sam, which just added to the hilarity).
I was raised on farm fresh eggs from my family flock and when I was forced to buy eggs from the store as a college student, I could literally taste the smell of the feed in the yolk. And my sisters allergic to store eggs

I’ve eaten eggs from a chicken coop and lived. Anyone else who is a survivor of unsanitized eggs?
Chickens are not stupid. They don't lay eggs randomly, they instinctively create a clean spot for laying eggs. In big farms however it is a disaster, chickens are kept in place and there is alot of dirt despite all the technology.
@LinusFoamTips really?

Im from Denmark, and we refrigerate our eggs always. The eggs arrive in isolated truckloads with other refrigerator items
Same way in the states.
Thats really interesting
Once refrigerated an egg should not be let at room temperature again, unless it's about to be cooked. The reasons are explained in the video. But eggs keep for a month or two at room temperature just fine.
My wife raises chickens and we never refrigerate the eggs we eat, which we usually only keep a week, at most. The USDA requires refrigeration and a certificate for us to sell them to consumers. She keeps about 50 birds, which she really enjoys, and gets 3-4 dozen a day; so we just give them to all our neighbors. No permit required for that🤔
@@sourwes0001 where are ya from .??? Love to have some neighbors like u...
I live in a permaculture eco village in Missouri and no one refrigerate eggs or even washes eggs until right before you eat them. As long as the egg isn't fertilized, they will last a month easy unrefrigerated if kept in a cool shaded place.

For what I have seen traveling through Europe, chickens and eggs are pretty similar. In fact except for specific regional food and spices, basic food is actually pretty similar.

@@B20C0 That's a good guess, but then, why purple light?
@@ViniciusNegrao_ I tried to look it up but I found nothing, I even looked up the official processing guidelines and they just say:
- All eggs in the United States are washed in warm water with a mild detergent in order to remove any contaminants (manure, grease, blood, yolk, etc.) before they are sold for human consumption.
- Eggs are dried to remove an excess moisture prior to packaging.
- Removal of contaminants prevents egg spoilage by bacteria.
- Eggs that are not cleaned or contain defects are removed from the processing line and are not packaged for human consumption.
So maybe this IS UV light, but not to desinfect the eggs but to provide contrast for a sorting machine? Still don't get the strobe effect though.

@Blixem
I agree. Those big city chickens don't know what they are doing.
We sanitize everything food related and yet have major recalls weekly...
Michelle Dumont the point is that much of the "sanitation" is done to cover up bad farming practices. You cram hens together in conditions that would be illegal in Europe, feed them antibiotics as a matter of course (again illegal in Europe) then wash all the shit off the eggs to disguise the fact they were produced in poor conditions. All this because it means a couple of cents extra profit per pack of eggs. In Europe, we set the welfare and hygiene standards first, the price is set at whatever this costs plus a profit. This video doesn't mention American meat, but again it's banned here because of the hormones it's pumped with, which again is all about profit. Americans would be shocked at the price of beef here, but the quality beats anything out of America hands down.
Spencer Wilton American food is literal poison. Its supply chain is completely corrupted by greed and mismanagement. The only thing that matters are profits.
@@elleh3495 I need to sanitize the FDA??? That would be a tall order, considering I have nothing to do with the FDA. Better yet, you should run for office, since you have all the answers. Maybe then, you could sanitize the FDA... Good Luck
and 48million cases of food poisoning a year. that's 1 in 6 of the population. The European figure is 1 in 1600!!
When you sanitize you removes any natural protection. For example, bacteria on your hands can help protect you from virus infection, but people kill those bacteria with hand sanitizer.
Meanwhile in 3rd world countries every home has a group of hens out back manufacturing fresh supply of eggs...

The US approach reminds me of parents who dont allow their kids to play in the dirt, where the kids later in life are prone to allergies, asthma etc.
It's an egg for gods sake. Mankind has used them for millenia. Cant be that hard...
Str4vv, While I agree with the first part the second part is ignorance in mass marketing; they didn't sell massive amounts of eggs as most people had their own chickens or neighbors with chickens. Hell, some states are bigger than the UK.
That's like arguing mankind never washed their hands until recently.
@@ThatDamnPandaKai there is a huge area between being sanitary and sterilising/cleaning everything to a degree that does more harm than good.
Well another thing not mentioned here is that in the US we don't vaccinate our chickens against salmonella in other countries they do. I don't know why it's not allowed in the US doesn't even look like it's available to get the vaccine over here probably some BS copyright law and not letting us use it because they don't want to change the structure of their own businesses. And short giant Monopoly corporate companies AR pushing more antibiotics on farm animals than vaccinations.
@@kateajurors8640 that exact thing was mentioned in the video...
I take it you didn't watch the entire thing then.
When I lived in England in the late 70s and early 80s, a fellow American told me -- "They don't do things wrong. They do them differently." A good point for all of us on both sides of the Atlantic. That said, I was surprised back then to see meat in England on display on unrefrigerated tables in front of some meat shops -- something that would have caused health inspectors in the U.S. to immediately shut the place down. When England suffered through Mad Cow disease, I realized that some of the meat practices there really did need to be improved -- and they were. After watching the video -- it's clear the U.S. should require salmonella vaccinations for animals here in America.

Here's a little side note go vegan.
I was born in a country that used to wash eggs. I don't remember when the country changed the regulation, but I remember my aunt, a regional health inspector, mentioning the number of salmonellosis cases in the 80's, and how some people almost died due to dehydration.
The occurrence of salmonellosis - getting sick of bacteria covering eggs - is still *four* times that of Europe.
There is one way to get quality, full-flavored, room temperature stable, safe eggs in the US: keep your own hens. We've been doing this for 18 months now, and other than dealing with predators like hawks and raccoons, it's pretty easy. We produce more than three dozen in a week, keeping ourselves, our neighbors, and our friends freshly stocked.
I spent most of my childhood on a farm, in the US. I thought it was common to keep eggs in a basket, on the counter, as a kid.
The rule was: don't wash until just before use. Simple.

I kept chickens in my backyard for 14 years. The eggs were rarely washed or refrigerated. It took months for them to go bad. The birds ate whatever they could get plus their feed,bugs, plants, flowers, anything. Those were the richest, best tasting eggs I ever had. No pale yellow runny yolks, these were a deep, thick orange. Awesome. I haven't had the like since, not even from the "organic " high priced eggs in the store.

To be fair, stores in the US have no choice but to refrigerate their eggs. The protective layer has been washed off, so warm temperatures are harmful.
i live in europe (not eu) and every store keeps eggs in the fridge
Are you sure this is a real fridge (~2C) and not just cooling (15-20C depending on climate)? Like, the egg feels almost ice cold to the touch, like a snowball?
If so, what is this country??? This is actually really dangerous if the eggs are unwashed because of sweating.
In US stores MUST refrigerate eggs (almost freeze them).
In Europe the MUST NOT do it under any circumstances.
The trade ban is there because confusion between the practices will very easily lead to mass infection.
It is not that harmful to store in the fridge after buying them though
>It is not that harmful to store in the fridge after buying them though

Both sides claim it’s for health purposes but the real reason why eggs aren’t exported between the two markets is to protect local agricultural industries. Because the abundant US agricultural products can sometimes destroy local producers. Just look at what happened to Mexican corn producers when their market got flooded by cheaper American corn (cheaper because they’re government subsidised) it put those farmers out of business.
Wouldn't it take more effort and time to transport eggs across the Atlantic than just to get them from local farms? Like, never in my life have i seen any American produce for sale here in Europe, just pre packaged stuff like crisps. I'm going to assume because stuff like eggs and meat would have to spend way too long on ships to make it safe and worthwhile.

Majority of stores in Australia sell unrefridgerated eggs but the shop near me sells them cold.
Here in Germany, we have real chickens in the stores. You grab them by the throat and squeeze until they fart out a fresh egg.
I am from Germany as well and I can confirm this. This does not only reduce the cost of the eggs because they don't have to be transported to the store, it's also more environmentally friendly since leftover food from the supermarkets will be fed to the store chickens.

There was this well known Vietnamese blog writer, who went on a trip in the country side far away from the city, stopping by a stand at the local market, saw some vegetable with tell tale of insect damages as well as some caterpillar on them , he told his friends, better buy some of these, they must have been grown organically without pesticides & chemical, they don't look like the perfectly unblemished but poisonous veggies in the city.
After asking the old lady wether they were grown organically, heard her confirmation, he and his friends bought bunches of them.
As they leaving the village, they saw some kids looking for something in the grass at the village gate, curious , he and his friends stopped and asking what they were doing.
They replied:
" we are catching insects"
Thinking to themselves , poor kids, they have no toys that they have to catch insects to play with.
They asked again what kind of game do they use the insect for .
The kids said:
" oh no we ain't play with them, we catch them to sell to the old lady at the veggies stand so she can release them on the veggies."
I couldn't help , having the vision of the local Turkish farmers order tons of eggs from the industrial raised warehouse, then painting some dirt/ chicken crap on them :)
Eggs in Croatia (EU member country) are not washed or cleaned, but are stored refrigerated at stores. We also have clearly marked three types of farming: cage (battery) , floor farming and free farming.

But we have kinder eggs though.

Nah they're here.
They just separate the plastic and the chocolate to keep micro plastic from getting in the digestive system
Sell dirty eggs and wash them at home before cooking?
Washing eggs at home isn't encouraged either. The contamination is more likely if you wash the eggs than if you simply use them as they are. It's the same with meat.
Evili that's what I'd do
@@vincemack2042 Bacteria is transmitted really well via water, so when you wash meat (esp chicken) or an egg's outer shell, there's a risk of contaminating the area you're washing around - either the sink or whatever, via stray water droplets. So unless you sanitize religiously (which some people do) and don't miss any spots, then washing the egg is not needed. You risk doing more damage. Cooking temps will kill bacteria in both the meat and the eggs. Just wash your hands well once you're done handing meat/eggs etc.
@@melchristensen8282 I boil my meat first before cooking them. Should I keep doing it?
Evili Maybe don't eat eggs? They're ludicrously high in cholesterol.
I once sampled some Brazilian honey at Port Canaveral for FDA. I got a few samples for myself. Several weeks later I got a rejection notice from FDA citing rodent parts and rat droppings.
I'm in the US. I eat eggs laid by my own free range hens. They eat a layer mix of food, and supplement that with insects and plants they eat while ranging. I gently and briefly wash the eggs in warm water and mild soap to get any poop off of them, and then dry and refrigerate them. The eggs are eaten long before they have a chance to age much. I've eaten hundreds of these eggs and never had a problem. It works for me and the friends I share them with. The yolks are darker and larger than commercially sold eggs.
Also - battery farming chickens has been illegal in the EU for about 10 years now, and so none of the eggs produced in this video could be sold anywhere in the EU, washed or no.
They can't be shipped either way- It's called protectionism.
Exactly! Yeah, it's about washing my aXX!
Sort of. "Enriched" cages can still be used in the EU. While of course standards are far better than the US, enriched cages are still essentially battery farming and do not provide satisfactory animal welfare. It would be nice to see cage-free farming sooner rather than later.
@@FullMetalFeline sort of. I don't think aviary systems are better than enriched cages.
So basically US food standards are lower compared to the UK. Not surprising, considering, in the EU, artificial flavours and colours have been discouraged from use in food products by law, whereas they are still very commonly used in the US.

gonna guess that our Canadian eggs are processed just like the US because i've always bought my eggs from the fridge section...
It depends :).. for example in Romania the eggs are in the fridge section. And we are a EU member, so we have the same regulations. Just because they can be stored at room temperature, it doesn't mean that it's not better to store them in the fridge area
Alex Horhat That’s not the answer to his question.
Yes, Canada processes eggs the same way as the US and trades just fine.
Yes we do, I wish we'd break away and switch to the UK method instead.
The USA has been pushing us to take more and more of their factory farmed products because lobbyists having pushed for trade deals that penalize Canada seeking food security, they want us dependent on them.
TBH canada and the US share alot of their industries, especially farm products, a good bit of your eggs could be from the US. idk for sure tho
I really appreciate the whole egg law. Back in my country, we don't have any of this.
I lived in Belgium for three years. Those eggs had flavor. Our US eggs are bland and mushy. Their eggs were a much darker orange inside. Ours are darn near a light sunshine yellow. I’ll take European eggs every time.
That’s more to do with what the chicken eats than the washing process, but you’re definitely right!
The colour may be artificial.
Here in the USA, if you buy free range eggs, they have darker yolk and taste better than the generic kind.
Ami Johnson what the hell does washing have to do with the comment washing was never mentioned
Bobby Hill born and raised USA. I’m a Vet that was stationed there for 3+ years.
I grew up in the States but when I was young we had a lot of money and we used to travel abroad every year at least once. Before 2008 and the crash started lol. So this totally explains why I loves the eggs in Europe so much more and why they've never been the same in the United States for me. Even the color is very different. I remember the color of the yolk being much darker and richer in flavor. The ones in the United States were almost like the iceberg lettuce oh, it just had less flavor. Thank you for finally giving me an explanation to something that I've wondered for years! By the way I think that the United States should try what the Europeans are doing because their eggs taste better!
It's not just the eggs that lack good flavor in the US. Pretty much every other fruit and vegetable. No wonder why Americans hate eating healthy; their produce sucks. It's always a gamble whether those damn plums are gonna have any sweetness and acidity.
washing doesnt change taste
they have more carotenoids
@@Nabonidus-m7x I completely agree, tomatoes are garbage in the store so we grow them along with some other stuff :)
@Jack park Because other nations choose to not wash the eggs it helps with bacterial growth when moving from refrigeration to warmer temps and the eggs "sweat" so they leave them out in the room temp. They also have better husbandry which means that they take better care of the chickens because they can't wash the eggs. The natural cuticle on the egg is better at protecting us as the end consumers as long as things are in general clean. So instead of letting them walk around in inches of their own feces all day and being confined to small cramped spaces where they are fed antibiotics they are given vaccines, treated well, fed well, given land to walk on that doesn't feel like a sewer and as a bonus they are happier during their life.

As a Canadian expat living in Wales, store bought eggs 🏴 > 🇨🇦 in taste.
Not having to refrigerate the eggs is a huge bonus and getting the odd little feather stuck to an egg is just adorable.
