Foodborne Illness第 33 / 240 题
Which statement about molds and their toxins in food is correct?
a.Cutting the mold off any food always makes it safe
b.Molds only grow in the freezer
c.Molds never produce harmful substances
d.Some molds produce mycotoxins, and moldy TCS or soft foods should generally be discarded rather than trimmed
解析
Certain molds produce mycotoxins that can be harmful, and because mold threads and toxins penetrate soft and moist foods, such items should be discarded rather than merely trimmed. Simply cutting visible mold off soft foods does not remove the hazard. Molds are not limited to freezers, and not all are harmless.
