Mold can grow on almost any food at any storage temperature and under any conditions. Freezing prevents the growth of mold but won’t kill any mold cells already in the food. The mold that you see on food isn’t the only mold that’s there. If it creates poisons, they’re generally under the surface of the food. Mold can be thought of like a plant. The part you can see is like the flower. Underneath that are roots inside the food that can make it unsafe. The softer the food, the further into the food the mold is likely to spread. Does all moldy food have to be thrown out? Some hard cheeses and hard salami can be saved, if you can cut out the mold at least one inch around and under it. However, it is encouraged that all moldy foods are thrown away. At NHI “We are the people who care, and it shows!” www.nhihealthcare.com

Did You Know...? Mary Jane Seacole 1805 – 14 May 1881 was a British-Jamaican business woman and nurse who set up the "British Hotel" behind the lines during the Crimean War. She described this as "a mess-table and comfortable quarters for sick and convalescent officers", and provided succour for wounded servicemen on the battlefield . Coming from a tradition of Jamaican and West African "doctresses", Seacole used herbal remedies to nurse soldiers back to health. She was posthumously awarded the Jamaican Order of Merit in 1991. In 2004 she was voted the greatest black Briton.
