Should you refrigerate eggs or not? The right way to store them for freshness and safety
Global egg storage habits differ, but science highlights temperature's role in safety. Washed eggs, common in the US, require refrigeration to curb bacterial growth like Salmonella. Unwashed eggs, prevalent elsewhere, retain a protective layer but still need cool, dry storage. Consistent temperatures are key to preventing spoilage and ensuring freshness.
