[Market-farming] Eggs at Market

I understand that eggs in Europe don't need/aren't required to be refrigerated, because they aren't produced in Salmonella-laden confinement buildings.  Can anyone confirm that?

We are being told by the county health department that we can only 
have eggs at market this year if they are in an electrically powered 
cooler: coleman coolers will no longer be allowed because 'they 
cannot maintain the 41 degree temperature requirement.'

Are the rest of you being affected by this? (Supposedly a recent FDA 
requirement)

I've heard that in other areas coolers have been deemed 'safe.'

Also, I hear there is not one recorded incident of a salmonella egg 
from a farmers market in the history of farmers markets in the USofA. 
(comments?)

Thanks
