Blood pudding is a dish that poses several potential health risks, including the possibility of contracting streptococcus, tapeworms, worms, gastrointestinal diseases, meningococcal disease, and even death. According to Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Duy Thinh from the Institute of Food Technology at Hanoi University of Science and Technology, blood pudding is made from living blood, which cannot destroy all bacteria and parasites, especially if the blood comes from infected animals such as pigs, chickens, ducks, and goats.
Bacteria found in blood pudding can enter the body and cause various health issues such as helminths, gastrointestinal diseases, meningococcal disease, and streptococcus. For example, pork tapeworm infection can lead to severe symptoms such as headaches, nausea, vomiting
