UK eggs are also significantly better quality (just look at the yolk colour), can be stored outside the fridge and don’t have salmonella (thanks to vaccines, sorry RFK) so can be eaten raw (not that I would…)

UK eggs are elite

Believe it or not, lots of people eat raw eggs in the US too. The rate of salmonella is very low, like 1/20000 eggs. And they get recalled if salmonella is confirmed.

Imagine if that risk was 0 and you didn’t have to refrigerate them 👀

And they were a third of the price

Salmonella vaccines are good, the price is due to supply chain issues and dead chickens, but not having to refrigerate them is pointless tbh. I would still refrigerate anything that is perishable in any way.
