alt Hacker NewsHow's that? I know American eggs get cleaned and bleached, but that doesn't happen in Europe yet salmonella is not a huge issue.
(cleaning eggs also removes some of its natural barriers, making it mandatory to refrigerate them to keep them edible)

lack of bleaching force owners to keep high standard (hygiene and vaccinations)
If you wash your eggs before using them, you will never get salmonella.

Industrial eggs are tightly controlled. Homemade eggs are far more susceptible to infection. AFAIK, scrubbing eggs like in the US is generally a bad idea, and results in the need to refrigerate them.
