RED Egg White!!!


This title tells all !!

I freaked out after beating this egg!
I went Eeeeeeeeeewwwwww all the way~~~~~~
Is it safe for consumption!?!?

Any1 had the same experience as me?
I was about to beat it into my soup, 
and saw blood red stuffs, so I quickly stopped!
a few drops actually went into my soup....
it was cooked and became blood clots. 
I scooped the clots up and drank the soup as usual.
Although I find it quite yucky~I didn't wanna waste food.. =)

    I found a website that says it means they are spoiled eggs. Cloudy whites are fresh eggs, clear transparent whites are older eggs and the reddish whites are spoiled eggs. Also if you put an egg in cold water and it sinks its good but if it floats throw it out. Just an fyi .... :)

      Sorry, i know this was years ago, but i raise chickens. I just had a couple eggs within the past week with bloody whites. These are fresh eggs, not spoiled. Where did you get this info?

      I saw this article claim it, but I don't know how creditable it is: https://www.today.com/food/5-things-you-need-know-about-eggs-2D80556370

    Hi-
    I just cracked open an egg like this one -- it was super traumatic! I told some people and they didn't comprehend at first that it was the WHITE that was red!

    We're not talking a "red-ish" egg white, but a RED egg white!

    Good for you for taking a picture. I am usually not squeamish at these sorts of things but I immediately put it down the disposal because I was so freaked out.

    Apparently, in the olden days people would crack each egg in a saucer to make sure it was OK before then putting it in the batter or whatever.

      I found one the other day. This was a fresh egg from my chickens that just started laying about 2 weeks ago. I don't have any Roosters so I'm not convinced that this blood comes from the egg being fertilized, there has to be another explanation.

      Absolutely DOES NOT mean the egg is fertilized. When people assume without the education to make a educated answer you are risking people's lives! This is a bacteria and is not safe to eat!

      I never expected to see red egg whites. I cracked open and without looking at it I put it on my ground meat to marinate. It was on the edge and I scaped out. I wonder if it is safe to use now. Too scared. OMG! Even to I scraped out what if it is actually a bacteria wouldn't the cooking kill it? I have about 1.5lbs ground meat that I have to throw out even though I scraped it out. Not sure if I want to take a chance...I will always be careful going forward after crackihttps://life-is-like-a-long-journey.blogspot.com/logout?d=https://www.blogger.com/logout-redirect.g?blogID%3D457495271761805614%26postID%3D7040594331904206762ng an egg.

      Does NOT mean its fertilized is there is blood in the whites. If you can pinpoint the hen, there may be an issue with her reproductive system.

    I just got one of those. Right in the cookie mix, but it was on the edge so I scooped it out and put in another one.

    I just cracked open an egg and the white part was red. My poor son was hungry for eggs but lost his appetite.

    I had a egg similar to this the other day from one of my hens. I am led to believe that it has been infected with bacteria. Not sure how. But best to throw it away
