In France eggs are not refrigerated. Also the refrigeration can cause condensation, and water outside of the egg can cause the infection.

#5I knew this already, but when I heard this I was amazed about the eggs being washed in the US. I heard this at a factory which creates egg-sorting-machines (If you want to see awesome egg handling machines: check this [1].)
For the US they created a special module to wash the eggs. In the Netherlands (where I live) this is unheard off. Even at moba they where like WTF :)
Another fun fact is: our eggs are stored outside the fridge in the stores, but in many house holds the eggs are stored in the refrigerator. Most refrigerators have those plastic containers for eggs. Same goes for cheese. Cheese shops store the cheese outside the refrigerator, a lot of households put it in the refrigerator again.
What also strikes me, is the fact that in big parts of europe, having so many chickens on a m2 is not allowed anymore. Instead of laying houses we have free-range systems. It's quite funny technology (like washing eggs) has to solve a problem which didn't exist if we respected nature just a bit more.

I do often see the notion that 'UK is Europe', particularly by American media; and that if something is true in the UK, it's probably true in the rest of Europe, so they often don't bother checking.
Because, sure, we all drive on the left.
