Accidentally ate mouldy cheddar cheese!!!!!! Please help!

[YummyHoney]

DC accidentally ate a bit of mouldy, grated cheddar cheese out of a packet. What should I do?

[Elkieb]

Tell them to look more closely next time! It won't hurt them.

[RillaBlythe]

Absolutely nothing? He will be fine.

[YummyHoney]

yes, but can't say it now or DC will panic - I said it's OK, but worried.

[YummyHoney]

Really? No e-coli?

[PrincessOfChina]

Cheese is mainly mould anyway. He'll be rate.

[usualsuspect]

I just cut the mould off cheese, nothing to worry about.

[MummyDoIt]

Stilton is basically mouldy cheese. He'll be fine!

[iklboo]

He'll be fine. E-coli is a different bacteria strain to the one that turns cheese mouldy.

[YummyHoney]

yes I know, but I read on the inernet that stilton and such-like are moulds grown in controlled conditions, and that it's not the same as mould growing in your fridge.

[MrsMangoBiscuit]

Is your fridge not at least loosely controlled? I've eaten moldy cheese before, if it's fluffy I'll cut the offending bit off. Never had any problems from it.

Mould is fine on cheese, we pick it off bread too!

I love moldy cheddar cheese :). I grew up nibbling mold off of cheese made from unpasteurised milk, too.

[winnybella]

No, there won't be e-coli on mouldy cheese, unless the cheese was contaminated with it in the production phase.

DC will be fine, nothing to worry about.

[YummyHoney]

Thank you all.

It's penicillin (so my mum used to say)

[cutegorilla]

It was always called penicillin in our house too!

[lessemin]

Adventureswithmoles! Thats disgusting.

[coldpepper]

I just ate quite a bit of mouldy cheddar cheese and now I am more than a little concerned. I do believe it's Penicillin but now I am beginning to have a head ache.

[coldpepper]

Any comments or advice?

[ilovesooty]

No. It's a zombie thread anyway.

[Flisspaps]

ilove

I love eating the rind of proper cheddar. That can be a bit mouldy but it's still delicious. It's never affected me in anyway that I've noticed.
