Why are eggs traditionally put in the dairy section of a grocery store?

Answer 1

Large format grocery stores traditionally have access from their backroom into the fridges and they can be placed on the shelves with less handling because it’s a high turnover item. This practice is starting to lessen as more stores are installing higher efficiency refrigerators and prefer the look of hand placed items.
