Comment on Just opened a new jar of jam, only to find mold in it.

Though how risky is it in reality? Eg for bread, if visible mold means there’s also invisible mold, wouldn’t that imply that there’s a period with just invisible mold that goes unnoticed and eaten? We’re constantly inhaling and consuming mold spores anyways, so is this more of a “I know it’s there and thus deem it icky” or “if it’s soft and has mold, toss it all, and hope that you don’t get unlucky and eat mold you couldn’t see in the first place”?

If you see it it implies that there’s orders of magnitude larger concentration.
