Can Human Blood Be Used For Animals

Ondrej Hajek

Animal blood — typically that of cow, pig, goat, lamb, chicken, duck and goose — has been used in traditional ethnic cooking across the globe and throughout time. In the spirit of "what's quondam is new once again," along with a dose of culinary curiosity and Paleophilia, blood is making its way into the contemporary kitchens Tweet this of professional chefs and dwelling cooks alike.

Blood — thank you to the protein albumin, which coagulates with heat above 167 degrees Fahrenheit — is a traditional thickening agent in French cuisine, particularly in sure sauces and braises. It is also institute in the savory Filipino stew dinuguan, which comes from the give-and-take dugo (meaning "blood") and may employ pork, beef or craven blood. In southward India, lamb claret stir-fried with meat and spices (ratha poriyal) is a common dish, while blood soups can exist found throughout the globe: Polish czernina (made with duck blood), Swedish svartsoppa (goose blood), Vietnamese tiê´t canh (raw duck blood) and Korean haejangguk (ox blood), to name a few.

Claret sausages, which have been fabricated for thousands of years by a number of cultures, refer to blood mixed with fillers and stuffed into casings. Arguably the most well-known blood sausage in the U.S. hails from the United Kingdom: blackness pudding (hog's blood and grain, ordinarily oats). Other traditional blood sausages include Italy's biroldo (either pig's or cow's blood mixed with raisins and nuts), Ireland's drisheen (sheep's blood with cream, grains and spices), Espana'south morcilla (sus scrofa's blood, rice and onions), Tibet's gyurma (yak claret with or without filler) and Estonia'southward Christmas verivorst (pig'southward claret, rye and flour served with lingonberry jam or sour cream, similar to Finland's mustamakkara).

Some cultures, namely in China, Vietnam and Thailand, serve the coagulated blood of chicken, duck, goose or cow that's been cut into blocks, known equally "blood tofu." In improver, blood has roots in U.Southward. food history. According to The Oxford Companion to Food, 3rd ed. (Oxford Academy Press 2014), "the haemorrhage of horses was as well mutual during the settlement of America." The equus caballus blood was consumed either as a liquid or preserved with table salt and cut into squares.

While little information are bachelor on the food content of blood (the USDA Food Database has an entry for "blood sausage"), some sources promote blood consumption as a means to stave off anemia due to the high bioavailability of its heme iron. There as well is little information about nutrient safety considerations for cooking with blood. Livestock claret is considered a "meat byproduct" under the jurisdiction of the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service. For pork blood to exist certified "edible," FSIS requirements include that blood come from healthy animals (inspected before and afterwards slaughter), exist processed in an institution under official control and be heat-treated. Pig blood also must come up from a country free of classical swine fever.

According to the World Health Organization, in outbreak areas for H5N1 avian influenza virus ("avian influenza"), reports of "a few human being cases" potentially linked avian influenza to the consumption of raw poultry, including raw blood-based dishes.
