Egg price watch

I don't think this has been discussed here when talking about the egg crisis in America. We appear to be the only country that sanitizes the eggs , which removes a protective layer, and thus requires refrigeration for storage and display in supermarkets. That has to cost something extra for the delivery of these eggs as we don't like Salmonella in our diets.

Because it had nothing to do with the increased costs. The cost of transportation and refrigeration has been baked into the price for generations. The only way to point to transport as a factor is if the fuel price increased. Now, if we had just switched to this sanitation method, the. You could point to it.

One risk is that people who travel internationally realize ‘you don’t have to refrigerate eggs’. But you do have to refrigerate US eggs.
I often mention this if I’m at an immigrant’s house and see their egg on the counter. They usually ignore me thinking I’m being an overly precious American.

We actually normally have a few eggs on the counter. Friends with a farm… We don’t get enough to meet all our needs, so normally buy eggs at the regular grocer, too. We use those for baking/cooking ingredients and use the farm fresh for eating…
