Mold Stains Found Inside This Brand Of Tomato Sauce: Here’s The One

Today in this article we are going to tackle the problem of annoying mold that is often present on our food. Product recalls occur as a result of information on non-compliant products which may therefore represent a significant risk to consumer health. But it’s not just the Department of Health or food business operators who can report a ‘defect’ in a product, sometimes consumer reports result in an entire batch being withdrawn immediately, so that other times this problem is limited to the packaging purchased.

The latter is a case that was reported by a magazine that has been dealing for years with food issues concerning the safety of products, whether food or not. A consumer about to use a fairly well-known brand of tomato sauce package found mold inside the package. As is good to do, the woman in question immediately turned to the manufacturer for concrete answers.

According to her, the first answer given to her by the customer service of the incriminated brand did not satisfy her at all and she therefore decided to turn to the magazine to ask if it was possible to have a comparison on this that had happened to him. She explained that one Saturday evening, while opening a Tetrapak packet of tomato sauce, she immediately realised, by pure chance (since the hole prepared for the opening is really very small) that there was mold inside, even attaching a photo as a testimony.

The lady told the magazine that she had already immediately written to the consumer service of the brand in question, and had been contacted by telephone but, with extreme calm, she had been told that mold is not at all dangerous for human health even if the product had in any case been consumed and that, having had no other report than its own, the cause was certainly due to a microcrack present on this packaging.

But what exactly is mold? Mold is a type of multicellular organism that belongs to the fungi kingdom and is able to cover certain surfaces in the form of spongy mycelium that reproduces by means of spores. The presence of molds is often the sign of spoiled food, even if in other cases they are actually the subject of a specific culture as in the manufacture of certain cheeses.
