On: Why Do Americans Refrigerate Their Eggs?

Eggs are washed in Sweden and must be refrigerated. The article is generalizing about "Europe".

As a side note, Sweden has eradicated salmonella in the egg-laying chicken population so Swedish eggs are 100% salmonella-free.

There is a consumer preference for washed eggs in Sweden now for decades (which seems to be the result of some information campaign). Therefore Sweden is the only EU country in which eggs can generally be washed but washing is tightly regulated there.
