      No, I mean some people do, but you don’t need to. Because EU eggs are from vaccinated hens there’s very little fear about salmonella. It’s perfectly safe to keep them at room temperature for several weeks and in fact they’re sold unrefrigerated at every store. It’s also perfectly common to use raw eggs, e.g. for home made mayonnaise etc.

      US eggs are washed and chlorined since the hens are not vaccinated, and once you wash them you need to refrigerate them. US still has like 150k cases per year of salmonella poisoning from eggs alone. Germany has like 10-15k cases in total.

      (I also don’t get why people don’t understand they don’t go bad for weeks at room temperature. I mean what do you think the chicken that normally would grow in these eggs eat while growing? Rotten egg?🤪)
