Can you eat feta cheese that has blue mold?

While blue cheese is intentionally made with a specific type of blue mold (Penicillium Roqueforti), other types of mold on feta cheese can be harmful.

Here's why:

* Harmful molds: Mold on feta cheese can be a different species than the one used in blue cheese. These molds can produce toxins that can cause food poisoning.

* Spoilage: Mold growth indicates that the cheese has begun to spoil. This means the cheese may have lost its flavor and texture, and could be unsafe to consume.

If you find blue mold on your feta cheese, it's best to discard it.

To prevent mold growth:

* Store feta cheese in the refrigerator, ideally in a tightly sealed container.

* Keep feta cheese away from other foods that may be prone to mold.

* Use feta cheese within a reasonable timeframe.

In summary, it's not safe to eat feta cheese with blue mold. It's best to err on the side of caution and throw it away.
