Expert Reveals the Truth About Red Spots in Eggs

Food Safety Expert Explains What That Red Spot in Your Egg Really Means Mexico City – A recent TikTok video by food biotechnology expert Rafa Carbajal has gone viral, addressing a common question many home cooks have: what does that red spot in my egg mean? Carbajal, known for his science-focused TikTok content (@soyrafacarbajal), explains that a small red spot in the yolk is often harmless, simply a coagulated blood spot. However, he cautions, a larger red area in the egg white is a different story. "When you see a small red spot in the yolk, like this," Carbajal says, pointing to an image in his video, "It's nothing to worry about." But, he continues, "If the red is spread through the egg white, that's a sign of pseudomonas bacteria, and you should throw that egg away." The video clearly shows the difference between a harmless spot and a concerning one. Carbajal's expertise adds credibility to his explanation, making his message easily understandable and reassuring for viewers. His video serves as a valuable reminder about food safety and the importance of paying attention to details when preparing food.
