It is called Chalaza. In a chicken egg, the chalaza is made up of two spiral bands of protein that hold the yolk in the center of the albumen. It anchors the yolk centered to reduce damage to the delicate yolk when the egg moves around. The fresher the egg, the more noticeable the chalaza.

If the egg does not meet a sperm cell in the oviduct it will still be laid by the hen. But the embryo will not develop because the egg has not been fertilised. The white spot on the yolk will remain white. If, however, the egg has been fertilised this white spot will soon become red with blood as the embryo starts to develop.

Those are blood spots. Apparently they are not harmful and will disappear as the egg ages.
