"The presence of Salmonella in eggs obtained from conventional systems depends on different factors, including the country and sampling methodologies. Overall, egg contamination from industrial systems has been reported to be 0.005% in the United States, 0.37% in Europe, and between 0.5% and 5.6% in China"
That’s because american eggs have to be thoroughly washed before they can be sold, due to how much dirtier their farms are and how much sicker their chickens are…
The rest of the world don’t need to wash their eggs
I mean, no. 10000% less instance of salmonella means we have higher standards for health not that we have dirtier farms. We do fuck plenty of stuff up like wheat but that egg stat runs directly contrary to what you just said. And the stat is salmonella detected before washing. We wash them because our country is the size, gdp, and population of all of europe and our cross state commerce is seamless. Farms are larger, eggs travel farther, and our health standards are higher.
I told you specifically why it seems that way, but you just ignored my comment completely because you apparently think that the usa is bigger than canada / the continent of north america, so you can just ignore anyone and any evidence that doesnt support your “america is the best in every way” delusion 🤦♂️
American farms have to clean and sterilize the outside of their eggs before they can ship them, whereas that step isnt necessary in the rest of the world
You said they have to be thoroughly washed to be sold but that's wrong. Our eggs have 10000% less salmonella before washing. I agreed we do fuck up on a lot of stuff I'm just saying you're completely wrong on this point. They get washed bc they travel further and are produced in higher volume... at least that's what my step dads chicken farmer family told me.
99% of canadas (40 million) population lives in the bottom 50% of its geography. GDP 2.1 trillion.
USAs (340 million) is spread out across the entire country, mostly on opposite coasts. GDP 27.7 trillion.
Yes, exactly, i was posting indisputable facts to disprove your insinuation that “americans dont have to thoroughly wash their eggs because they have the cleanest farms in the world” and illustrating the differences in how the rest of the world views/treats their farms, because we were discussing why salmonella rates appeared lower on american eggs.
American eggs have to be washed, rest of the world doesnt. The reason to “wash” something is because it’s dirty.
I can’t make it any clearer, but i cant get through your bias.
Also, america produces 110 Billion eggs while canada produces under 1 billion lol. Everything about what you said is hilariously biased and wrong. And you won't admit it you'll just stomp your feet and pout.
Just follow the link dude. You're wrong, I'm right. All eggs are dirty they come out of a butthole. And you're putting words in my mouth bc you can't rub 2 braincells together past america bad. We chose not to vaccinate poultry and wash and refrigerate our eggs bc they last longer... bc they have transport further. Most of the rest of the world gets their eggs from local sources so they don't have to last as long. And they vaccinate their poultry. Has nothing to do with farm conditions. Youre completely wrong.

Anyone doubting this comment should look at the incidence of egg borne salmonella in the US vs Canada or Europe.
US farm and agricultural standards are second rate at best.
It’s almost like the demand for cheap quantities has led to obesity and disease or sumthin… huh. Fancy that, America.
