Absolutely – eating an egg that has a blood spot won’t hurt you. While you may wish to remove the spot with the tip of a knife and dispose of it, there is nothing in it that’s harmful for human consumption.

Blood Spots
One sometimes finds eggs with small “blood-spots” in them, usually on the yolk. This has nothing to do with fertility. It simply means that a small blood vessel broke in the hen’s oviduct while the egg was being formed. Some of the blood gets on the yolk and then it continues on its merry way.

Yes, it is ok. It’s rare to see as less than 1% of eggs will contain a blood spot. Normally during grading these eggs will be separated, however sometimes an egg will slip through as it’s harder to see blood spots in brown eggs. Blood spots are caused by the rupture of a blood vessel during the formation of the egg.

Since the time of the Gemara, there was a real concern that any blood spot that was found in an egg was blood created from fertilization. This would create a problem in that the entire egg would be considered an early stage chicken embryo, which would be forbidden for consumption.

The cause of a blood spot is simply a ruptured blood vessel on the yolk’s surface as the egg is forming. This is a natural, benign process for both hen and egg. Instances of blood spots can increase when hens in a flock get excited by changes in lighting, changes in temperature, or simply shifting seasons.

The Torah explicitly prohibits the consumption of blood because of the belief that the life of the animal is contained in the blood. “Moreover you shall eat no blood whatever, whether of fowl or of animal, in any of your dwellings. Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.”

Duck eggs should not be eaten raw or lightly cooked. Only eat duck eggs that have been thoroughly cooked, until both the white and yolk are solid. A duck egg is heavier and larger than a hen’s egg and therefore needs more cooking time.

Why is that? The simple explanation is that duck eggs are larger and cost more money to produce. However, it can also be difficult to find these eggs sold in stores. While many high-end grocery stores, like Whole Foods, sell duck eggs, you aren’t likely to find them at the local bargain supermarket down the road.

Submerge the eggs in the water, one or two at a time. If the eggs lay flat at the bottom of the water they are fresh, if the egg stands upright on the bottom then they are getting old. If they float, throw them out, they are too old.

Blood spots are normal and fairly common, and are not a cause for concern. The USDA Egg Safety Center says that these eggs are perfectly safe to eat, although you may want to remove the blood spot for aesthetic purposes. All you have to do is remove the spot with a spoon or the tip of a knife and throw it away.

Simply fill a bowl with cold tap water and place your eggs in it. If they sink to the bottom and lay flat on one side, they are fresh and good to eat. A bad egg will float because of the large air cell that forms at its base. Any floating eggs should be thrown out.

Their eggs are also often infected with Salmonella. There is only one case of duck-egg Salmonella infection on record in the U.S. (in a Kansas orphanage). Reason: 1) U.S. ducks are usually Salmonella-free; 2) their eggs are seldom eaten.

Basically identifying when duck is cooked is the same as for chicken: the internal temperature of the thickest part of duck should be 75° when tested with a meat thermometer, cook at the temperature and the time period recommended on the packaging or the juices run clear and no blood should be apparent.

Thanks to the egg’s bloom, it’s not necessary to refrigerate farm fresh duck eggs. However, refrigerating does drastically extend their shelf life. An egg will typically last about 3 weeks when stored at room temperature versus about 4 months when kept in the refrigerator.

If eggs are left unwashed with the bloom intact, you can place them on your kitchen counter. Unwashed, room temperature eggs should keep for about two weeks. If you aren’t planning to eat your eggs for a while, we recommend refrigerating them.

Prohibition on mixing dairy products with meat
Others associate it with the general prohibition on certain mixtures set out in the Torah, such as that of coupling animals from different species. Yet others see it as symbolic: the refusal to mix life (milk) and death (meat).

Allah s.w.t says in the Qur’an, Surah Al-Ma’ida (5:3): ” Forbidden to you (for food) are : dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine , and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah”. This clearly insists that blood is prohibited to be consumed by the Muslim as it is considered to be filthy and harmful.
