    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.

      Please send help. We’re disgusting.
