My local supermarket — a Coles — doesn’t refrigerate their eggs. They’re on a steel shelf next to the bread.

I’m slightly curious about how this whole egg washing and storage system works.

Yeah we (Australia) are super inconsistent on this. The same brand eggs, in the same supermarket chain, in neighbouring suburbs, are stored differently. My local Coles they're refrigerated, the suburb over they're not. It makes no sense.

  • It depends on their source. If they’re washed they need to be refrigerated, and if they’re not they can just hang out at room temp.
