    If something has mold, specifically, then that whole food and anything else in the same package is bad, even if you can’t see the mold on other pieces. This is because mold is a microorganism and you only see it with your eyes when an extremely large amount collects.

      it depends on the food. you can’t really cut the mold off bread but you can definitely cut the mold off cheese.

      in a restaurant kitchen i think it should be tossed but at home some stuff can be worth saving.
