The US government is seeking egg exports from European countries like Germany, Italy, Poland, and Sweden to address record-high egg prices caused by a bird flu outbreak. However, European countries face challenges supplying eggs to the US due to differing food safety regulations, such as the requirement for fresh eggs to be sanitized and refrigerated in the US but sold unwashed in the EU. Despite Poland being a major egg exporter, the issue of washed vs. unwashed eggs remains a major factor in meeting US requirements.
