Sometimes when a hen is laying an egg, a blood spot is formed. The blood spot is usually caused by the rupture of a blood vessel when the egg is being formed. Eggs with blood spots are usually removed during grading but occasionally one is missed. An egg with a blood spot is not harmful to eat. The spot can easily be removed with the tip of a knife before cooking.
