We Bought A Moldy Snack!

This has been happening a lot lately with the heat we have. It shouldnt make them sick at all. I remember as a kid eating an entire bun (bread), and not evne noticing the mold. A friend did the same and it was all in her head, her mother flipped out, and just the reaction of them both made her sick (seriously she does it over everything and anything). I would email the company and complain you would most likely get a free coupon, or your money bacl.

Don't worry I've done that before, the bun I ate looked good on the top, I took a bite or two and it tasted horrible, when I looked underneath it was moldy. I didn't actually get really ill from it but that taste and just the thought of it made me a little queasy. I would have gone back to the store and made a complaint or if there was a number to call for complaints I would have done that. It's not nice finding something has gone off before the expiry :(

I have accidentally eaten mould many times in my life and nothing bad happened at all. Just an unpleasant taste. Many foods have mould.. Cheese is a form of mould and there are some cheeses that you can see the blue veins - as they are called, but they look more green to me.. I don't like any of them, but they do not harm people, unless there is some sort of food allergy or intolerance. I would think your kids would be OK as it wasn't poultry or other meats that tend to go rancid, which can be a bigger problem.. _Derek

Yes, this happens to us also. I brought the bread back to the bakery and ask for a replacement. I also tell them to check their stuff to avoid same problem or else they will lose their business. I am not sure if we will get sick for taking a small amount of mold- or how sick we will get once we have taken a lot. Hope everything will be fine- or else you can sue the merchandise owner.

I already experience this. One of our colleagues gave us cake, it was delicious but upon looking at the center, we saw tiny molds. We stopped eating and let it goes to trash. We haven't experience any sickness from eating it. I just hope that your kids will not get sick. In case, you can try to have them good bacteria like yogurt or any drink with live beneficial bacteria as first aid for possible effect of the molds.

I've been to that situation too. I myself made a bite on a food called Monggo Buns last week. It was dark because of blackout. That moment I felt hunger. I opened it and made a bite and after chewing it a bit, I felt that it tastes moldy. I went near to a light and then noticed that it has molds already. I immediately vomited them all before they had entered my stomach. I didn't get sick maybe because they have not entered my stomach. Maybe you should give your kids some vitamins or ask some prescription from a doctor.

i have bought stuff that was moldy or bad from the grocery store and taken it right back to get my money back. once it was milk that had soured and i cannot remember the other thing. you should have done that.

Wow! You should have went back and complained where you got them, so that if they do cause sickness to your family, they would be the ones to cover the expenses and damages. Anyhow, it depends on your kids. If they're all neaty-gritty all the time then they're bodies wouldn't be able to fight off these stuff. But since you just said that they just took a little bite or something, then they'd probably be okay. You'll see if they start having diarrhea after 4 hours. If not, then they're okay. But have their stools checked though. Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

It is so important how things are packaged. If any moisture gets in it is in trouble. You should call the company and give them all the information on where it was sold, when, etc. and take them back to the store. One gal on here wrote about some bread she had bought that tasted funny to her. The company customer service was excellent. They brought her a basket of all kinds of stuff.

Each case is different as to if someone will get sick or not. But if I had been you, I would have taken the Honey Buns to the store and ask for a refund at least, plus some sort of extra for the trouble and the worry. I think that throwing the buns into the trash can lets the store go on selling food that is not eateble. If they were with mold, either the expiration date was past or they were not kept in a proper place.

Oh my! Yes, this has happened recently - but with a batch of grapes I bought. We got them in a plastic packaging - and plucked one for each of us for a quick sample. Well, when I took some out to wash, I noticed there were some fuzzy things on it - and realized the whole thing had fuzz (where the grapes attached to the stems mostly). Luckily none of us got sick! One time I bought a chocolate bar from a health store. It was wrapped like any other chocolate candy bar. I remember it had rice crispies in it. Well, I remember opening and taking a bite. I looked at the rice crispies a little closer as I saw the rice crispies MOVING . . . omg, there was like a city of these white looking ants living in that candy bar. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I stuck it in an envelope and promptly returned it to the store. They believed me and didn't want to see it . . . so they offered to replace it with another one. Um, no thanks!!!

Yes I had the same experience, the expiration date seems okay but when we open the package it was moldy, ouch I think it was because the store did not put them well. I drink coconut water after I realize I ate a moldy bread, its not green and hairy but it was moldy but lucky i did not eat the whole bread. My parent said coconut water can help to neutralize the toxin that might contained in the moldy bread.

Why did you throw those bread? You have to return it to the store so you can get your money and warn to sue the store.. Anyway, next time don't just throw what you bought esp. if it is rejected. Return it back to the store and ask for your money and warn to sue them..

Mold is only dangerous when its eaten repeatedly for a while. It could give them the runs or make them nauseous, but I don't think its anything life threatening. Honey buns have so much sugar they almost never get moldy. I would avoid the place you bought them if they are selling products like that.

When this happens you actually need to take it back to the store so they are aware of this and it is reported so that no one gets sick. It generally will not hurt anyone if they have a bite of it but if they are allergic to penicillan like I am then yes it can actually cause a bad allergic reaction.

When we find something wrong with our food, especially if we just bought it, we take it back or call up the store manager who gives us a coupon for next time.

I would have taken them back to the store and demanded my money back!

I would have brought them right back to where I bought them and thrown them in the store owners face. Then I would complain and report them. That is disgusting to sell food like that. I feel bad for your kids. They could get sick, but I uses as long as they did not bite into the mold they should be alright.

I've had this happen with cakes like honey buns. I think it's because of the moisture content. These are very very moist and if the store is kept at a too high temperature or if they were driven in a truck that was too hot this can happen. It has been really hot lately in parts of the U.S.

It happens sometimes..but i feel you should have taken it to the shop back.. sometimes they replace..it is their duty to replace actually..thank god your kids are in good health
