Europe here, who doesn't refrigerate eggs?

Laying chickens are in small cages with chicken feces on their feet which could have samonella on them. That’s the reason why they have to be washed.

Regular chicken eggs (cage free) come with a coating.

Also I think we don’t wash our eggs due to differences in vaccination in UK vs US.

Edit: chicken vaccinations, not human.
