Mold Spores
Hi B and Daniel,I had some food go moldy in my fridge, and I am concerned about mold spores spreading to other food and throughout the fridge. What is the best way to eliminate any mold spores in the area? How will I know if they’ve been eliminated? My fridge itself doesn’t have mold (that I know of).
If there is mold on food in other spaces (e.g. countertop in the kitchen), what is the risk of it spreading to other areas? Would the protocol be similar to removing it from there too?
Thanks!

mold growing on food is a little tricky because it depends on the food. Mold on soft foods should be thrown out. Hard foods are usually ok to cut/scrape off the moldy parts.
Moldy bread, berries, soft cheese… throw out. Canned foods & beverages… throw out. Yogurt, jam and any spreads… throw out. Fruits & veggies with high moisture like cucumbers, tomatoes, etc… throw out.
But hard veggies like carrots, cabbage etc… you can cut out moldy parts and still eat.
Moldy foods contaminating other foods really depends on the proximity of the foods and again, what type of food it is as mentioned above.
I really like the following products for cleaning up mold spores:
