View Wesley's Notes for Exodus 22:31
22:31 Ye shall be holy unto me - And one mark of that honourable distinction is appointed in their diet, which was, that they should not eat any flesh that was torn of beasts - Both because the blood was not duly taken out of it, and because the clean beast was ceremonially defiled, by the touch of the unclean.

God had spoken to Noah and his family not to eat flesh with blood (Genesis9:4) as well as to us (Leviticus 17:12) any flesh killed by beast still has blood but the blood should be poured into the dust (Leviticus 17:13). Thus holy people don\'t eat blood.
