Why the eggs are classified as dairy?

Dairy products are generally defined as food produced from the milk of mammals (the Food Standards Agency of the United Kingdom defines dairy as "foodstuffs made from mammalian milk").Apart from breastfed infants, the human consumption of dairy products is sourced primarily from the milk of cows, yet goats, sheep, yaks, camels, and other mammals are other sources of dairy products consumed by humans.

Eggs actually aren't considered dairy but are part of the meat and beans group. They are included there because they are stored in similar conditions and are used together in recipes.

Chickens don't menstruate; I'm so tired of seeing that ignorant statement. Likewise, there is never a chance of a baby chick forming inside an egg unless that egg has been fertilized, and commercially raised, egg laying hens never see a rooster, so that's an impossibility.

Eggs are not considered dairy; they are a protein, same as meat and beans. They may be next to the dairy products in the store, but that's only because it's refrigerated.
