These are called blood spots and can appear in either the white (albumen) or the yolk. This happens when a small blood vessel breaks in the birds oviduct and deposits a trace amount of blood onto the forming egg prior to the formation of the shell. This tiny spot of blood is not harmful and will disappear when cooking the egg. Most restaurants and home cooks remove this blood spot simply because it is unpleasing to look at but it will not harm you.

∙ 13y agoIf you are candling an egg (looking inside with a bright light) You may see one or a number of small dark spots. This will most likely be a "blood spot" and is quite harmless. Blood spot occur when a small blood vessel breaks as the egg is forming within the hen. The egg is usually still edible and the blood spots can be removed after opening the egg for cooking.
