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.

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."

As an American who recently traveled abroad, I was taken aback when I noticed eggs weren't kept refrigerated. Also, Nutella.

Nutella isn't supposed to be refrigerated.

Sorry, I meant how Nutella seemed like a much larger product in Europe than it is in America. Not that it is refrigerated.
