They are not with the dairy in Sainsbury’s in the UK, they are will food ingredients such as flour. This is a completely different area to milk and cheeses which are in re-fridgerated areas.

We sell freerange eggs from our farm gate, the nearest dairy for sale is 4 miles away.

I guess you shouldn’t buy stuff from a grocery store that thinks eggs are dairy.

They put the things that people go into the store for in the furthest place from the door usually. The most common things that you go for that are refrigerated are eggs, milk, butter, yogurt and juice. Another thing to note is that there are only so many things that need to be refrigerated before opening and they are always grouped together for layout reasons. You don’t want to have 4 or 5 small sections to refrigerate vs 1 larger refrigerated area.

they require the same conditions as milk and cheese and so it’s easier to be stored together, but also, in the US when food was delivered to stores by farmers, the farmers always included eggs with the milk, as milkmen did up until the eighties. we also got used to seeing them together and it’s become part of our culture in the US.

cause it is cold there.

They’re in the cold section.
