    American eggs have a longer shelf life, but it’s because they’re refrigerated rather than left out at room temp.

      if you refrigerate european eggs they can last very long also. Just anecdotal evidence but i have never encountered a rotten egg and i have cooked a lot of eggs

        The problem is then more about potentially contaminating your refrigerator where you keep various raw foods. That’s kind of the entire justification for why eggs in the US get washed.

          eggs here are almost always clean already as consumers dont like to buy dirty eggs and are considered also safe enough to not contaminate any other raw food
