As this list shows, mold isn't an automatic death sentence for food. Instead, it depends what type of food the mold is on.
Check This Out…
If your bread is moldy…
Say goodbye. Mold has long, threadlike roots that can infiltrate airy baked goods like breads and muffins.
If your cheddar is moldy…
Praise Cheesus, you're okay. Hard cheeses like cheddar and parmesan aren't porous the way bread and baked goods are, so those tendrils of bacteria can't force their way to the middle of your chunk of cheese.
If your goat cheese is moldy…
You're done, son. The U.S.D.A says foods like goat cheese and shredded cheese with high moisture content can be contaminated below the outer surface.
If your peppers or carrots are moldy…
You can still save them, as long as you trim the mold (are you seeing a pattern here)? Foods like cabbage, carrots, peppers, potatoes and apples all fall under this category.
If you have a big, watery bag of baby carrots that's starting to smell weird though, pitch it.
If your tomatoes or peaches are moldy…
Okay, the USDA says throw them away because soft-fleshed fruits and vegetables are more susceptible to mold penetration (like the bread)
This Opened Our Eyes!
We'll be taking a closer look at our food from now, and hopefully we won't ever let it get moldy so we won't have the dilemma about what to do with it.
