While most eggs are considered unsafe to eat when raw, there’s a scientifically interesting reason eggs are generally safe to eat raw in Japan.

    1. Prior to the ‘machine’, Japan refrigerated is eggs. I’m not sure about after the machine, but websites from 2015 and 2021 still say that they do. It would seem that they either still do or should, as the machine still washes the eggs, but I’m not in Japan and can’t say either way.

    2. Refrigerated eggs have a shelf life of 3-5 weeks, while non refrigerated eggs are at 2 weeks.

      I don’t know in other countries but in France eggs have an expiration date of 4 weeks after laying, not 2.

      (they are not refrigerated and not washed.)
