They cut off the moldy areas and continue to use the product, but this is a big mistake.

The Harm of Mold

According to Kutyshov, mold fungi appear where nothing else can survive.

Mold is harmful to eat because it is highly toxic.

Eating moldy foods can cause allergies and other health problems.
