Food poisoning??

Made a victoria sponge today, when I came to putting the jam in the middle, I realised it had a spot of mould on it. Friend with me said just scrape it off and use the rest underneath, which I did. Now I read online that you should always throw it out as the mould spores can go far beyond what you can see. Am I (and 3.5 yo son) going to get ill now??

I do it with jam and cheese too! Never been ill from it and i am the most careful person ever with use by dates etc!

No mold will not make you ill, it doesn't taste that good unless it is cheese

I always scrape the mold from jam or marmalde since doing my food hygien where it was all explained what would make you ill and what would be fine.

Thanks everyone! Suddenly got horribly nervous.
