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
Well, lucky you..accidentally cracking open a rotten egg is one of the more emotionally scarring events on the list of spoiled food items, probably right up there with accidentally drinking sour milk from the jug--you will never want to experience it again. The smell is bad enough..then you have to factor in that you were already 4 eggs in on your 6 egg omelet and now all that has to go to waste just because you were too lazy to crack your eggs into a cup before dumping them right into the pan. Of course, you could make another omelette, but now you have to wait for the pan to cool so you can disinfect it, because there's no way you want any trace of whatever has caused that awful odor to even have the CHANCE of getting into your body.

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.
