What is Mold
- fungus; molds are plants that make spores
instead of seeds which float in the air like pollen. They are a common
trigger for allergies. Molds are found in damp areas, such as the basement
or bathroom, as well as in the outdoor environment in grass, leaf piles,
hay, and mulch.

processing and sealing practices prevent their growth on these foods.
