Dr. Al Hegab answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Century eggs: If they don't contain lead or other heavy metals as arsenic, and from a trusted licensed healthy source, then they would be safe, but this is still a delicacy and a pregnant lady or a 2 year old child can do well without and go for regular eggs, bon apetit
