The doctor warned that moldy food should not be eaten, smelled, or attempted to be restored in any way; because mold contains highly toxic aflatoxin compounds (deadly mycotoxins).
Even if very slight mold residues are visible on the product, it should never be consumed. The same applies to products that have mold on them; These must be disposed of immediately, as mold will quickly spread to other products. According to Pomoinetskaya, mold can affect coffee, tea, bread, cheese, cocoa, nuts, etc.
The doctor noted that aflatoxins are dangerous not only because of their toxicity, but also because they contribute to the formation of cancer.
