One person was supposed to just buy a few slices of cheese to throw on a burger, but ended up having a “ruined weekend” instead.

This was written by the news agency Jam Press.

The customer had purchased a packet of chili cheese for the burger from supermarket chain Aldi in the UK, but immediately discovered something was wrong.

– Had to postpone the barbecue night

Even though there was still a week before the cheese expired, there was green mold on the wrapped slices of cheese.

– This ruined the first sunny weekend of the year. I’ll have to put off the entire barbecue night, until I get more cheese, the person wrote.

The expiration date on the cheese package is May 27th, but according to customers, the cheese had gone moldy on the day of purchase, May 19th.

Customers made harsh criticism of the chain of stores.

– I don’t think I can eat cheese from Aldi anymore. What if we don’t see this?

Bombarded by messages

Jam Press has tried to reach Aldi for comment. They don’t want to comment.

Dagbladet has previously written about it The Norwegian Food Safety Authority does not recommend anyone eating bread with mold on it.

Senior adviser Catherine Signe Svindland in the biological food safety section of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority explains that many species of mushrooms produce poisons (toxins) to protect themselves from the environment.

– Cannot be deleted

Mold toxins are called mycotoxins, and they can form when mold grows on food. Some mycotoxins are found only in the mold colonies themselves, but most are excreted in food, invisible to the naked eye.

Dumped – then comes “revenge”

– Most mycotoxins can withstand heat treatment, so they cannot be removed by heat treatment or other treatment of food, explained Svindland further.

He said that mycotoxins can be dangerous, and can cause acute poisoning or long-term negative health effects in humans.

Cut?

There are, of course, some foods you can get rid of mold — and eat them safely afterwards.

This only applies to hard cheeses and vegetables that have received small, obvious mold spots. based on Food gate Care must be taken to cut a lot around the mold.

Hard cheese with mold is edible after cutting at least a centimeter around any visible mold.

– Mold grows further into most foodstuffs than we can see with the naked eye, and there may be toxins in other parts of the product besides the mold visible on them, explains Svindland.
