The Americans, Australians and Japanese all wash and sanitize eggs. That means they also have to oil and then refrigerate them, as washing removes the natural protective barrier on the eggs that prevents bacteria entering. In the UK, and across the EU, it’s the law not to wash grade A eggs. This keeps the natural protection in place so they can be sold from the shelf and not the chiller cabinet.
