Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s due to activity and good. The FDA grandfathered in so much toxic items, some we put in our food or on our crops. Europe is super strict about what is allowed. Like how America’s eggs are frozen because they’re sprayed with stuff to keep them fresh longer but in Europe they’re not refrigerated.

Sorry, but this is just wrong. American eggs are refrigerated because they're washed after coming out of the chicken (yay factory farming!), and washing removes the protective cuticle that keeps out bacteria from the egg. In Europe, where they don't wash the egg after it comes out of the chicken, the egg can be stored at room temperature with no problems.
