    There is no reason why eggs should be refrigerated, as they have a protective shell which keeps them fresh. It is common for eggs to be kept in a fridge, like other dairy produce, such as milk or cheese, as it is assumed this is necessary, but they can be kept anywhere, although like most "foodstuff" it wouldn't be wise to keep them anywhere particulalrly warm. Sometimes restaurants, etc may boil a large amount of eggs for the use of egg mayonaise sandwiches or other meals. These cooked eggs must be refrigerated to keep them fresh as once they are cooked, the shell is less protective and the egg can go off so easily. You have to be careful with eggs like this not to leave them for too long before consumption. Also with eggs in general, don't take risks. If they float in water, they are most likely to be going bad and should be disposed of.

    • Most supermarkets sell eggs in the dairy section, however, that doesn't make them a dairy product. Dairy products are milk & milk byproducts (cheese, milk, sour cream, etc.)
