Is molded pie a danger to eat?

Yes, molded pie can be dangerous to eat. Mold is a type of fungus that can produce harmful toxins, which can cause foodborne illness. Symptoms of foodborne illness can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. In some cases, foodborne illness can be fatal.

Mold can grow on pie if it is not properly stored. Pie should be stored in a cool, dry place. It should also be covered to prevent contamination from other foods. If pie is left out at room temperature for too long, it can develop mold.

It is important to note that not all mold is harmful. Some types of mold, such as blue cheese and penicillin, are actually used to make food. However, most types of mold are harmful and should not be consumed.

If you see mold on your pie, it is best to discard it. Do not eat pie that has mold on it, even if you cut the mold off. The toxins produced by mold can spread throughout the food, so even if you cut off the mold, there may still be harmful toxins in the pie.
