No, you guys! The mold you see is just the "blossoming" part! The mold "roots" have permeated the whole product by the time you SEE mold. Throw it away!

The type of mold this is, is not harmful. If it weren't for the disgusting taste, I wouldn't bother cutting it off.

Cheese is mold. And if you've ever gone hungry, you learned not to waste food. There is nothing wrong with cutting off bad parts of food so the rest can be salvaged, your mom is smart

If you don't like the idea of eating mold, mildew, etc., never again eat cheese, cultured butter, saurkraut, apple cider vinegar, etc. Anything fermented, probiotic, or cultured. Sourdough is a bit of a different situation (being baked after fermentation) but still. Kambucha, naturally carbonated drinks, beer or anything alchoholic that hasn't been pasteurized.

Our bodies are not only made to deal with this stuff, but to use it to maintain a healthy body.
