Breastmilk in the fridge alongside mouldy food?

I've been staying at my parents' and have pumped a couple of times and stored the milk in medela screw top bottles in the fridge. My mum has just thrown out a bowl of blueberries she had forgotten about that had tin foil over the top and were right next to the bottles of breastmilk...they were pretty furry. Would you still use the breastmilk bottles (two pretty large ones)...or throw them away and deep clean the fridge before storing breastmilk in there again?

Baby is 7 weeks if it makes a difference!

They were covered and the bottle has a top. At the very most I would wipe the outside of the bottle. Your post makes it sound as though they put your pristine breastmilk in a fridge full of rotten food.

Haha, it's a pretty clean fridge otherwise! I wouldn't think twice about eating food for myself that was sat next to it to be fair, but suddenly with a baby with not such developed immune system etc I doubt all of my decisions regarding hygeine etc!
