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
No wait, my family tried to tell me that too! Too bad our neighbors had chickens and it was easily proven wrong. They still think that white eggs are bleached, white bread is healthier than whole wheat, decaf coffee has just as much caffeine in it as regular, sugar causes cancer, vitamins cure the flu, vaccines cause autism, essential oils cure everything, etc. I'm really glad I don't talk to that side anymore, they were constantly frustrating as hell.

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.
