Why are eggs traditionally put in the dairy section of a grocery store?
In: 1166
I would add that when milk and other dairy products were primarily delivered direct to home by milk men, they would also carry other dairy products such as cheese, butter and cream. These “Dairy services” often also delivered eggs.
When supermarkets became more common, consumers purchased these items directly. Most of these products required refrigeration with the introduction of pasteurization. So all “dairy products,” we’re placed in the same location in the store. Hence milk, cheese, cream, butter, and eggs ended up in the “dairy” section.
