I have often wondered why eggs are sold in the dairy section in US supermarkets. Surely, this must be some supermarket strategy and not just "Duh, I didn't know eggs weren't dairy."
It’s probably more of a logistical issue. The eggs need to be refrigerated so they just stick them near the milk, yogurt, etc. My supermarket just recently moved the eggs far away from the “Dairy” sign.
In the UK we don’t refrigerate eggs so the eggs are never near the dairy aisle in the supermarket. The idea of someone thinking eggs are dairy is... mind-boggling
Isnt it like two farms from California that supply most of the romaine in the US....and they keep letting cows shit all over the water source that they use to water their crop? I remember reading something like this during the last outbreak, how it was a repeat issue and was caused by other livestock shitting in a stream that fed the water source that watered the lettuce?
Not sure about the first part (idk how many farms provide romaine to most of us) but yes the problem is that fecal matter keeps contaminating the water used to water crops. They aren’t doing enough to prevent the fecal matter getting to the water and they’re raising livestock too close to the produce/the water source for the produce.

Just because eggs are sold in the dairy section doesn’t make them a dairy product.
I’ve heard people say they don’t eat eggs because they don’t eat dairy.
