    Eww… We don’t need chlorine infused chicken and chemical soaked eggs. No idea what crap they have in their mad cow beef and lobster. Ban it by law, put it into the constitution change all the national anthem to say EU citizens will be protected from US chemical infused meat and eggs. Write it into a huge stone facing US in multiple languages. Make T-shirts too and hats.

        They are washed with harsh chemicals, leading to the destruction of the natural protective layer (that protective layer prevents germs like salmonella from entering the egg)

          Apparently, it’s to combat salmonella contamination from fecies on the shell.

          European countries instead vaccinate their chickens, have higher hygiene and biosecurity standards (with regular inspections) for farms and frequently collect the eggs to avoid any surface contamination without having to wash their eggs.

            But we just hope that harsh chemicals will cover up the natural consequences of our inhumane practices. So I can see both sides.

            Please send help. We’re disgusting.

              I see your /s and raise you 1.99 for barn, 2.39 for free-range, 3.39 for organic, 10pcs each, all without chick shredding. And 2.49 for cooked and painted barn eggs. (Those are actually available pretty much all-year round: First customers complained that they could only buy cooked eggs around Easter, then other customers complained that they unwittingly bought cooked eggs because they looked like all the others so now they’re painting eggs year-round).

      Neither does America: they fired the people who check this.
