1. If the bacon only has a small amount of white mildew, it may generally be that the bacon is stored in a humid environment due to too much salt, and when it is stored in a humid environment, the salt is released and condenses on the surface to form a layer of white "salt frost", which is not real mold, and generally does not contain aflatoxin. If the bacon has no other peculiar smell, rinse the moldy part of the bacon and it can still be eaten;

2. If there is a large area of green mold on the bacon (note: the color is green not white), and there is rancid smell or other peculiar smell and mucus, it is moldy, which will contain aflatoxin, which often penetrates deep into the deep part of the meat, resulting in the rot of the meat, and it is not edible;

I can't eat it, because the food is poisonous after the white mold grows, so I can't eat it.

There are many microorganisms in nature, some spoilage microorganisms will decompose and change the appearance and smell of food, the most common in food is mold, mold has a strong ability to survive, even in an environment that is not conducive to its own growth can exist for a long time, once it encounters the right opportunity, it will multiply.

Can you still eat the moldy part when you cut it off?

In fact, this method is not advisable, the moldy food is not only the moldy part seen by the naked eye, but also because the mycelium of the moldy part has been fully formed, and the seemingly unaffected part has a large number of molds, and the cytotoxins are likely to spread in the food. The toxin of mold in many foods is patulin, and the toxin of Penicillium protrusion can cause intestinal disorders, nephrogenic edema and other diseases, and may even cause cancer. Therefore, even if the moldy part of the moldy food is removed, it is best not to eat it, and the most important thing is to be healthy.

Although it is in the refrigerator, the food is moldy and cannot be eaten, which means that it is broken. The refrigerator is not a panacea, it will also put bad things, hopefully.
