In Jainism, eggs—fertilized or unfertilized—are not considered acceptable to eat.

Reasons in brief:

• Ahimsa: Food from animal origin is avoided to prevent harm and to honor the potential for life.
• Saumyata (purity of diet): Eggs are considered unsuitable for a sattvic, restraint‑oriented life and can disturb mental calm needed for sadhana.
• Practical vow‑keeping: It is difficult for laypeople to ensure whether an egg is fertilized or how it was obtained, so Jains abstain from all eggs.

Both Digambar and Shvetambar traditions teach a strictly vegetarian (lacto‑vegetarian) diet for laypeople and complete abstinence from eggs. Monastics are even stricter.

Therefore, unfertilized eggs are not okay to eat according to Jain Dharma.
