I’m a Food Safety Expert and Here’s What You CAN Still Eat Even If It’s Mouldy
UK Daily Mail | 12/10/2023 | Rebecca Whittaker
Oppo’s short list: Nothing.
-Avoid mouldy grains, nuts and apples
-Avoid mouldy soft cheese, berries and bread
-But some cheeses ARE safe. One of the only foods you can eat even if it is mouldy is hard cheese.
‘Hard, dense foods like hard cheeses or firm fruits and vegetables are more resistant to penetration by the mould so the mould could be cut out and the food consumed’, he added.
To be safe Dr Fuchs recommends people cut off about 2.5cm of food around and below the mouldy area.
However, when mould is specifically used to make a product, such as blue cheese, it is safe to eat.
Well, duh.
