Molded cheese09/23/2009 |
I accidentally ate some shredded cheese that was in date but I had the distinct taste of mold in my mouth. I took several bites thinking it was just my taste buds. Will I get sick now? do I need to do something to keep it from becoming something?
So sorry about being so late replying. You obviously know now that you won't get sick in the short run. There is some thought some molds on cheese and jam/jelly are carcinogens, so minimizing ingestion of moldy cheeses, etc will reduce your risk down the road of getting cancer.
