Of all the food-allergies<\/a>, avoiding mold<\/strong> in food is probably one of the easiest to follow.<\/p>\n There are two aspects to following a mold-free diet<\/strong>:<\/p>\n The tradition of making food<\/a> with mold is long, but not wide. The following foods are made with mold<\/a>:<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong> this list is not complete. As I conduct on-going research, I will update the list. Please add a comment<\/strong> if you can suggest missing foods.<\/p>\n Cheese<\/strong> is primarily milk<\/a> (cow, goat, sheep etc.) that has had a controlled bacterial process<\/strong>. Bacteria is not mold, so a cheese that uses bacteria only<\/strong> is safe<\/strong> for a mold-free diet<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n Some types of cheese depend on mold to give them their character. Blue cheese is a typical example.<\/p>\n Improperly stored<\/strong> food<\/a>, or food that has been kept for too long could become moldy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Mold requires humidity to grow, so humid, dark conditions<\/strong> are perfect for spoiling food<\/strong>. Food kept in the fridge will take much longer to become moldy.<\/p>\n You can recognize moldy food by the “fur” growing on the surface. By then it has been moldy for some time. The “fur” is the fruiting body of the mold. Before you see the furry bits, the mold has already established itself in the food.<\/p>\n Depending on the type of food, it may be safe<\/strong> to cut out<\/strong> the mold<\/strong> and eat the rest<\/strong>. In general, you can safely<\/strong> cut out mold in fruits<\/strong> and vegetables<\/strong> and then eat them. Most molds that grow on fruits and vegetables are not particularly dangerous, although they could make you feel quite sick, and certainly if you are allergic to mold<\/strong>, moldy food can cause an allergic reaction.<\/p>\n Moldy meat<\/strong> should be discarded<\/strong> as this is a real health<\/a> hazard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How to avoid mold in your diet<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[13],"tags":[40,76],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3084,"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78\/revisions\/3084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
