If you’ve ever ignored your leftovers for long enough, it is likely that you have opened up a container to some moldy food. Maybe you’ve found a bit of bread mold when you wanted to make a sandwich. In fact, there are a few reasons why you might find your food looking a bit fuzzy.
1. Mold is Everywhere
It might be a bit unnerving to hear that there is likely plenty of mold in your Pompano Beach, FL home that you can’t see. In most cases, you don’t need to worry. Most mold is not harmful and will cause no problems for you or your home. It does mean, however, that you might find some fridge mold growing on occasion.
2. It Helps Feed the Mold
Because fungi cannot create energy from the sun like other plants, it needs to feed on other sources. Sometimes, that source is your food. Particularly in the case of bread mold, and much to your dismay, this food can be a great place for the unwanted fungus to get its nutrients. Because you often keep bread in a dark warm area like a breadbox or cupboard, it is also easy for the mold to grow quickly.
3. There is Moisture
Mold grows more easily in places where there is moisture, which makes your leftovers the perfect breeding ground. It can spread quickly in this kind of environment, so you might find fungus growth on a dish that looked perfectly fine just the night before.
While bread mold and other types of mold on your food does not necessarily indicate a problem in your home, it can be a good idea to have a mold remediation service examine your home for mold if you are concerned.
