Who stores eggs in the fridge (UK)? (lemmy.world)

I’ve just bought a new fridge and it comes with a section to hold eggs. I’ve never stored them in the fridge since salmonella isn’t really a problem here because our chickens are vaccinated. Does anybody in the UK actually refrigerate their eggs?

As an aside, I tend to decide what goes into the fridge based on where it was in the supermarket. If they don’t refrigerate it, neither do I. So for eggs, I don’t.

Secondary question - what am I gonna use the egg holder in the fridge for now, other than maybe briefly cooling my balls?

I'm in the US, so I do have to store eggs in the fridge. BUT I do what you do for a lot of foods that don't need to be refrigerated. I refrigerate them anyway because they last longer. I live alone, so my groceries don't deplete as fast as people with large families, and so it makes sense for me to try to stave off food spoilage as long as possible.
