Eggs won't get salmonella if they are refrigerated promptly after they are laid. Japan has higher food safety standards, so eggs produced in Japan are less likely to have salmonella than those produced in the US.

Eggs will also not get salmonella if their natural protective coating is not washed away as per regulations in the US (vs Europe.) In fact, American eggs would be illegal in most European countries and vice versa - American eggs must be washed and refrigerated, whereas washing European eggs is prohibited.

The rationale behind it being that European egg producers will put more care into making sure the raising site is actually clean.

I'm not so sure about that, we hear the same horror stories about factory farms as well. However, the chickens are vaccinated against salmonella, and that might have something to do with it.
