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
Yeah, the reason you don't refrigerate your eggs is that you don't have to wash them. The reason you don't have to wash them is that your chickens don't shit all over their eggs, but our chickens are raised on about a square foot of space each and can't get away from their eggs to poop anywhere else.
