Until now, the U.S. was the only country allowed to export eggs to Canada. Decreasing stocks in the U.S. has prompted Canada to add Ukraine to the list.

avoiding eggs because of this is silly, as so many types of food need refrigeration too. if you can’t trust someone to cook eggs within the 4 hour window after being removed from refrigeration, how can you trust them to not do the same with any meats or dairy?

actually forcing eggs to need refridgeration when they naturally don't need it, makes it super silly.

Imagine silly stuff like suddenly forcing all grain, rice, flour or peanuts, almond, nuts or bread or spices or salt (lol) or pepper to require refrigeration or they spoil in 4hrs.

meat is cooked well for long time or fried at high temp, i don't eat raw beef or half cooked chicken or pork, but I like half boiled eggs.

Dairy, i have experienced it smelling spoiled when opening it at home after purchase. I have no idea how long those eggs has been out at room temp, I mean, at every stage until they reached home and after. I have no idea if salmonella gives off smell after 4hrs. 4hrs is a silly short window.

The point is that meat and diary require refrigeration in my country too so it is not strange,silly to me but eggs like rice and flour and bread don't so it is strange,silly seeing eggs requires compulsory refrigeration in other country. 4hrs window is short.

I avoided those eggs, meaning I still ate but much less and only hard boiled, fried or well cooked and used in some other dishes.

Recently, I read US sells chlorinated chicken meat, which is banned in UK EU. it is really strange. Makes you wonder why. How filthy the meat production is to require chlorination swimming pool chemical treatments to get rid of germs while other countries don't. Why other countries don't do it but US needs to chlorinate chicken.

Maybe they keep chicken in storage for a very long time (stale) before reaching the consumer, so they require strong chemical treatments to preserve longer. no idea.
