Never Eat The ‘Clean’ Part Of Moldy Bread

It’s not safe to eat bread or fruit contaminated with mold, even if you cut away the moldy parts. When mold reproduces, it spreads throughout your food, hiding in places you can't see. And while many species of mold are harmless, others can make you very sick. It's just not worth the risk.

Following is a transcript of the video:
Narrator: We've all been there. The loaf of bread you bought a couple weeks ago is starting to grow mold and you're wondering "Maybe I can just cut the part where I can see the mold and eat the clean part." It turns out, even though you cannot see it, your whole loaf of bread could be teaming with fungus. Following is a transcript of the video.
You're all ready to make the sandwich of your dreams. Turkey, tomato, and swiss on a bed of romaine lettuce sandwiched between two slices of sourdough. Classic.
Oh no, what's this? Mold? But look, good new. The mold's only on part of the bread. So, I can just cut that away and be fine, right?
There's no such thing as a "clean" part of moldy bread. That's because mold is a fungus, like mushrooms. The caps on the surface are easy enough to spot. But there's a vast network of subterranean "roots" called hyphae that you can't see.
So let's take another look at that bread of yours. Ugh, disgusting!
Maybe you can just grab another piece from the same loaf. Well, that's not such a great idea, either. Because by the time mold sprouts its fuzzy head, what you're really seeing is the reproductive part of the mold called sporangiums. Each sporangium releases tens of thousands of spores.
So, even though you can't see it, that entire loaf could be teeming with fungus.
But it seems like such a waste to just throw it out. After all, you eat mold on purpose all the time, like the mold that goes into making cheese, soy sauce, and even life-saving antibiotics, like penicillin. Eating a little bit on your bread can't be that bad, right?
Ultimately, it's a gamble. Just like eating a wild mushroom, many are fine. But some can be deadly.
Mold is the same way. There are thousands of different species of mold - many of which are harmless to humans. But since so many types can sprout up on food it's nearly impossible to know if what you're eating is safe.
Cladosporium, for example, can sometimes trigger allergies but is generally harmless. Whereas other molds, like Penicillium crustosum, produce harmful poisons called mycotoxins. An elderly couple in 2005, for example, was admitted to the hospital after eating a can of soup contaminated with this kind of mold. They had severe muscle tremors but eventually recovered.
But other molds, like Rhizopus stolonifer, can have permanent effects. And you might recognize this mold since it commonly grows on bread: blue-green, with black splotches, and super fuzzy. In rare cases, it can prompt a deadly infection called Zygomycosis, which causes your blood to clot and can, ultimately, starve your cells of oxygen to the point that they die.
And it's not like bacteria where a little heat will eliminate the threat because high temperatures won't break down the mycotoxins. And since you have no clue which one you're about to put in your mouth, ask yourself: Is it really worth the risk?

Late to the party, but this is why my family started freezing our bread as soon as we get it home. It helps preserve your bread for longer periods of time (possibly forever but don't quote me on that) and every time we want a slice, just grab one out of the freezer and defrost/toast it in the toaster. We've yet to have a bread go moldy on us ever since. Of course that doesn't ENTIRELY remove the risk, but it makes it a LOT more manageable.

[@UserInterface00]

I’ll always remember what my High School Biology teacher told our class when she was taking about mold. She gave the example of a loaf of bread. If she ever saw mold on one slice and only one, more than likely the other sliced started to develop mold that was yet to be visible and threw the whole thing away. Not worth the risk.

[@ugurkaraarslan25]

My teacher said the same thing but with tomato paste. Mold on top is visible because it is the part that is in contact with oxygen but in reality the whole can is contaminated. I have mentioned this to my Mother and she told she have cleaned the top of the moldy paste and used it several times.

Perhaps, but as a general rule of nature, if it tastes bad it's good for you. If it tastes good, it's bad for you. Applies to both food (vegetables) and medicine.

No our tastebuds evolved in a way that the foods we needed would taste good to us. At least, the foods found in NATURE. Evolution didn't account for things like Mountain Dew and Baconators.

By the logic of this video... wouldn't the bread prior to the visibility of the mold be equally risky?

yes, you know if you go outside you're at risk of being hit by run away car wheel .. or dog falling from the roof top or that debris of a plane that exploded in the air .. or accidental ricocheted bullet .. Hell you can die at home too .. like slipping and falling in the shower .... this video is true, though they don't specify how much of that toxin can be generated in a slice of bread and how much you need to get symptoms, it could be that you need to eat 200kg of moldy bread in span of hour to get poisoned

[@CanIHasThisName]

The level of risk is determined by the amount of mold present. The thing is that you could actually eat a moldy bread a still be fine. But ultimately, there is a small risk of eating a bread that has no visible mold on it and getting sick. What this video is telling you is that by the time you see the mold, it has already began to multiply, at which point it is better to assume that all contents of the container are contaminated. In short, the logic of the video is perfectly sound.

[@seraphina985]

+MTB Rider of Justice One other thing of course to bear in mind also is that bacterial spores are also pretty much ubiquitous in the environment, if there has been enough time from non sterile exposure to have visible colonies of mold there are almost certainly thriving bacterial colonies present also. Again most of those are also harmless to healthy humans with an effective immune system especially when consumed orally (many are killed by strong acid) but you only need to get unlucky with one of them to live to regret it.

[@oliveamazona]

The worry is about the byproduct, called mycotoxin, that is produced when fungi reproduce. Moulds like aspergillus are inescapable they're all around us and we breath them in etc, but avoiding them when we can reduces the chances of things like liver disease.
