As someone who used to raise chickens, I know that the eggs can be covered in poop. Does this leave poop on the eggs in the store if they are unwashed?
They are poop free. They are cleaned but not the same way as in the USA. More a tidy up than a wash.
Sometimes yeah, there might be a tiny bit of dried poop with like a tiny feather stuck on the egg.
Depending on what I do with them though you can always just give em a wash if you want to. But if I'm just cracking it to a pan why bother?
Here in Finland our eggs are so good that the government's official guideline is that it is safe to eat raw eggs.
Now the US might get a similar official stance with brainworm man as the highest health official, but I don't think I would trust them as much as the Finnish food authorities. And while I don't trust my government to not fuck shit up in general, food hygiene has never been an issue.
Yeah, some of them could have some dried up poop on the shell. Not often and not many though. But you can wash them before you use them.
Finally, someone is asking the real questions.
