Leviticus 7:26 "You shall not eat any blood"
We are forbidden to eat any blood.
When an animal is slaughtered, its blood is poured away.
Afterwards, we must soak and salt the meat. This process drains the blood which is in the meat. After the meat is soaked and salted it is considered properly "koshered" and fit to eat.
Do you know that even eggs may have blood stains?
It is necessary to check eggs before eating or cooking them.
If blood spots are found, we should throw out the egg. (If such an egg gets mixed in to other foods, a rabbi should be consulted.)
