PRINT EMAIL COMMENT The accepted practice is to check each individual egg for blood spots prior to use.1 If checking is overly difficult, such as at night on a camping trip, for example, where there is no available good light, one may eat eggs without checking. There is no problem with eating eggs cooked in the shell (boiled or roasted), even though these cannot be checked. If one is in doubt whether the eggs have been checked, it is permitted to eat the eggs. Copied with permission from OUKosher.org. Footnotes 1.
