It is a good rule of thumb to only eat egg whites that are clear. Cloudy egg whites are old or something can be not right with them. Keep safe, not sorry. -------------

NO! -- This is actually exactly the opposite of the truth! Cloudy egg whites indicate FRESHNESS! (Really!) The fresher the egg, the more CO2 it will contain. As eggs age, the CO2 slowly escapes through tiny pores in the shell.

Now if the egg white looks off-color -- say pink or green -- then it's dangerous. But cloudy eggs are not bad for you, and for breakfast eggs -- especially soft-boiled or soft-scrambled -- they're the best! (FYI -- Older eggs do work better for baking, and especially meringue.)
