Oh ffs - Nan bread - will we be ill?

[whiteworldgettingwhiter]

Had nan breads tonight - best before today. Notice after we've had half that they're meant to be refrigerated - I didn't know that so they have been out on the side.

Also, there were bits of what could have been mould or black seeds/herbs in them - the ingredients didn't mention seeds at all 🙄 but the pic on the front of the packet showed black seeds...

But they smelled and tasted fine. Help!! Are we likely to be ill?

‘Unless bread was a typo for raw chicken you'll be fine‘

This is my new favourite response to something on Mumsnet ever.

If there was mould surely you would've seen it before heating?

Stop it.

Not catastrophising, honest, there were bits of mould that looked pretty similar to the seeds...

but ok, thank you all for all the reassurance.

Why did you eat them then if you knew it had mould on?

What a fuss Have this instead

Why did you even mention it to your DS?

If he has emetophobia time enough to worry about that if he's actually sick.

When CH is unlikely

Which is unlikely. Bloody autocorrect.

I don't think it was mouldy OP. You wouldn't have eaten it if it was. You've just now decided that it did. Honestly you'll be completely fine, like others have said blue cheese is full of mould

I've always presumed that the keep refrigerated label on a supermarket takeway didn't mean the naan... So if the packet is not consumed I just chuck it in the back of the cupboard...

The ones I bought that should have been refrigerated were not part of a takeaway deal, but bought on their own.

They were bought online though, so that's part of the reason I hadn't realised about the fridge part. Had I actually bought them in store, I would have noticed if I'd picked them up in the chilled section or bread aisle and then stored them accordingly at home.

Jesus, we noticed while we were eating them that there was mould! Is that hard to understand? Because the mouldy bits looked like the seeds...

then we stopped eating them.

They tasted fine.

And I mentioned it to ds because we were all at the table! I tore off a bit of bread, said, 'Oh, is that mould?' And we looked at it.

They tasted fine.

So if you noticed mould while you were eating it (still very unlikely) and stopped immediately then you've ingested a miniscule amount. This is so overblown.

Presumably if you stopped then you still have some remnants of this allegedly mouldy bread you can put a picture on here of.

Mould looks like mould. Seeds look like seeds. There is no way on God's Earth that someone with emetophobia would eat something was visibly mouldy, so clearly they didn't have mould on.

You will be fine.

Bread was always blue when I was a child. We cut the mould off and ate the rest. Seem to have survived it.

It's bread. When has anyone ever got sick from bread?

Stop feeding your kids mental illness. Ridiculous going on about mould, which is pretty unlikely.

Mould won’t hurt you. It’s in cheese, yoghurts, antibiotics. Just because it doesn’t look or taste the best doesn’t mean it’s going to make you ill. You’ll be fine.

I don’t know a single person who ever got sick from mouldy bread. And I grew up with a mother who used to “pick off” the mouldy bits and make our sandwiches with it.

Stop panicking. Kids are like dogs. They sense it.

OMG not mouldy bread!!!!

That'll teach you for stealing your Nan's supper
I've never refrigerated Naan bread though

You'll be fine. Try not to worry. Food poisoning from bread. This was on part of the NHS website:

In all likelihood, nothing bad will happen to you—especially if you have a healthy immune system,"

If it was mouldy, you surely would have tasted it. I've bitten into and chewed mouldy bread before and it's foul. Also wasn't ill from it.

Argh. Should of said 'Food poisoning from bread isn't very common'.

Eating slightly mouldy bread won't make you ill.
And if you didn't notice it was mouldy immediately, then it was only slightly mouldy!
Inhaling the spores of very mouldy bread would probably be worse than eating it.
The acid in your stomach will deal with the bread mould.
