Can You Eat Moldy Bread If You Toast It?

Can You Eat Moldy Bread If You Toast It?

You want to make a sandwich, but you notice there's a bit of mold on the bread.

So, if you are like me, you probably don't like to waste food, or it could be that you just don't have time to go to the grocery store.

Now, you are wondering, will it be ok if you just cut off the moldy bit and toast the bread?

Although this plan may sound quite reasonable, you SHOULD NOT do that. And here is why.

When you see a little spot of mold on your bread, you are just seeing the tip of the iceberg. The roots of mold that cannot be seen have already reach deep into the bread, and once there is a little spot, then it is likely that the whole loaf is contaminated.

But is it ok to toast the bread? Will that get rid of the mold?

Unfortunately, that is not a good idea either. Toasting your bread will not get rid of the mold because mold produces mycotoxins. Although heat could stop further growth of mold, it would not remove the toxins.

It could actually make the situation even worse. Mold spores could become airborne and not only contaminate your toaster but also other food products in your kitchen.

Also, your bread would still have a moldy taste, even after you have toasted it.

You should never eat moldy bread, even if you cut off the mold and toast it.

When there's nothing else in the cupboard, it's never bothered me! ...and isn't mould on bread a natural source of penicillin?

[angelsanchez-vgoc]

It is a pity to lose the bread, you have to keep it stored in the fridge, do not let it lose!

[svensktihjartat]

Becouse mold is appearing from outside. If you scrap the mold you can eat it.

My friend accidentally toasted a slice of slightly mouldy bread yesterday in my kitchen. It was sourdough 😱 Worried about spore release and wider contamination, I have sent her by ambulance to the ER for tests & monitoring, dumped my toaster and all other kitchen appliances that were co-located on the same benchtop, called in a hazmat crime scene cleaning unit to decontaminate the entire kitchen & open plan living spaces, arranged immediately for the ducted AC servicing the entire building to be shut off pending full replacement of all filters and ducts & spore testing, evacuated my closest neighbours to a safe house with negative pressure isolation rooms, and sought a district-wide air quality analysis for an area not less than ten blocks either side of the contaminated building. Trying to safely remove the rest of the loaf - which, upsettingly, is still in situ - may require military intervention.
