Mold on Food - Are
Molds Dangerous? -
Molds
are microscopic fungi that live on plant or animal matter.
Mold grows from tiny spores that float around in the air. When some of these
spores fall onto a piece of damp food, they grow into mold. The mold feeds
itself by producing chemicals that make the food break down and start to
rot. As the bread rots, the mold grows.
Mold on Cheese
-
Molds are used to make certain kinds of cheeses
and can be on the surface of cheese or be developed internally. Blue
veined cheese such as Roquefort, blue, Gorgonzola, and Stilton are
created by the introduction of P. roqueforti or
Penicillium roqueforti spores. Cheeses such as Brie and
Camembert have white surface molds. Other cheeses have both an
internal and a surface mold. The molds used to manufacture these
cheeses are safe to eat.
