Egg White

[Slogger]

My wife has separated egg white from the yolk, only to find what appears to be blood in the egg white. Is this safe to use or did she do the right thing by disposing of the whole lot?

I've found blood spots in loads of eggs over the years,I have just removed them and used eggs.If its a whopping load of blood debris then i would discard.

Blood or meat spots are occasionally found on an egg yolk and are merely an error on the part of the hen. They’re caused by the rupture of a blood vessel on the yolk surface when it’s being formed or by a similar accident in the wall of the oviduct. Most eggs with blood spots are detected by electronic spotters and never reach the market. But, even with mass scanners, it’s impossible to catch them all. Both chemically and nutritionally, eggs with blood spots are fit to eat. You can remove the spot with the tip of a knife, if you wish.

Yes, it's safe to use - usually it indicates that the egg was in fact fertilised.
