Tofu and milk if unopened, should able to keep until before expiry date. Yeap, I think that's it. Bcuz once open they are subject to bacteria multiplying, even though they were vacuum sealed and UHT treated previously. Keeping it at low 0~4 deg C, keeps bacteria count low, but they will still multiply until it bcums dangerous to you for consumption. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like after i have opened a packet of fresh milk/soya bean milk, have to finish the whole pack continuously 3 days. I cannot only drink on the first 2 days, then keep the balance and finish the balance on the 4th and 5th day. 😅 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Hypersonic July 6, 2022 Share July 6, 2022 If the mould are small specks and localised to an small corner , I will tear out the part and toast it.. https://sg.yahoo.com/style/happens-eat-mold-according-food-202400267.html Here’s What Happens If You Eat Mold, According to Food Safety Experts Korin Miller Wed, 6 July 2022, 4:24 am It happens to the best of us: You distractedly eat a piece of cheese from your fridge, only to realize as you’re snacking on the last of it that it’s moldy. While that alone can make you feel nauseous, it’s only natural to wonder…what happens if you eat mold? Can you get sick from eating mold or is it no big deal? We asked food safety experts to weigh in on the health risks of eating mold, and when to be concerned. What happens if you eat mold? It really depends. “Many foods like fresh produce have mold spores on them naturally, or our food and plates becomes a resting spot for mold that is floating through the air,” says Benjamin Chapman, Ph.D., a professor and food safety specialist at North Carolina State University. “If you think about strawberries or raspberries sitting at room temperature for too long they can often show some signs of mold spoilage. The mold spores were there usually from the harvest environment, so I’d guess that consuming mold is a daily thing.” That doesn’t mean you should happily dive into moldy breads and cheeses, though. Molds in the right environment can grow and cause spoilage, and that could make you sick, Chapman says. And, in some situations “you might experience nausea or vomiting” after consuming mold, says Darin Detwiler, LP.D., associate teaching professor at Northeastern University and author of Food Safety: Past, Present, and Predictions. “It’s just your body’s natural way of trying to get the mold out of your system,” he adds. (At the same time, it’s entirely possible to eat something moldy and be just fine, Chapman says.) Is it safe to eat mold? Sure, you can eat moldy bread and be just fine. But you could also get sick from it. “Some instances of mold growth on food can represent a food safety hazard,” says Abby Snyder, Ph.D., assistant professor of food science at the Cornell College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. “Some molds produce mycotoxins when they grow on certain foods—corn, wheat, and peanuts, for example.” Mycotoxins, in case you’re not familiar with them, are toxic compounds that are naturally produced by certain types of fungi, per the World Health Organization (WHO). Mycotoxins can lead to nausea, cramping, and vomiting, Chapman points out. “Mycotoxin production due to mold growth on prepared food has not been well studied, so safety recommendations are relatively conservative,” Snyder says. Mycotoxins are also heat stable, meaning they won’t be destroyed through cooking. “It is also difficult to distinguish molds that produce mycotoxin just by looking at them,” Snyder says. That’s why, if you really want to eat something that has mold on it, she recommends cutting around moldy portions of hard meats, hard cheeses, and firm vegetables. (Note: the firmness factor here.) “Be generous in determining how much of the affected portion should be removed by cutting at least one inch outside of where the mold is growing,” she says. “For other products, consumers are advised to discard moldy products for foods that are softer and promote the diffusion of mycotoxins or growth of the mold below the surface.” Worth noting: Fellow foodborne toxins aflatoxins can also be found in mold and can cause liver damage. They have also been identified as a risk factor for cancer, Chapman says. To lower your risk of aflatoxin exposure, the WHO recommends buying only major commercial brands of nuts and nut butters and tossing out nuts that look moldy, discolored, or shriveled. Also, if you have a penicillin allergy, you could be putting yourself at risk if you eat something moldy. Chapman cites a case report of someone with a penicillin allergy who developed anaphylaxis (a life-threatening allergic response) after eating pancakes made from moldy mix as “one of the outlier worse-case scenarios, but important for those with mold allergies.” When should you see a doctor after eating mold? Again, if you eat mold, the odds are high that nothing will happen or you may experience a slight gastrointestinal upset. “You would need a very under-developed immune system and to eat a ton of mold in order to get sick,” Detwiler says. “Even that is not likely to kill you.” Still, if you know you ate something moldy and you develop “prolonged” nausea and vomiting, Detwiler recommends seeing your doctor. “They might prescribe medicine to induce vomiting or diarrhea to help flush out your system,” he says. So, the next time you spot moldy food in your home, it’s really best to toss it out. It’s better to be safe than sorry. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it is not the mold itself that causes health issues. It is the heat-stable mycotoxin that is produced by the mold that will not be deactivated or neutralized by heat. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
