Question

should eggs be kept in the fridge uk

Answer 1

In the UK, eggs are usually not refrigerated because they are farmed and processed differently.

Eggs are not washed before being sold in stores. Bacteria such as salmonella can enter more easily when eggs are washed, which is why cool refrigerator temperatures are required to store eggs.

According to Irish food safety authorities, the aim of egg production is to generate clean eggs at the point of collection rather than try to clean them afterwards.
