Black stuff on freezer seal - mold?

Has been a while since I last cleaned out my freezer - today I thought I'd give the seals a wipe and they were really black. It came off straight away with an antibac wipe. Is that mold or just general grime? I have a tonne of breastmilk in bags in that freezer and I'm a bit concerned about whether I'm still okay to use it? Yes the bags are technically sealed so any spores hopefully haven't got to the milk yet but I have the bags in the freezer loose and to get the milk out of the bags once defrosted the milk has to pour out of/ touch the top of the bag? Thanks - please advise as I don't want to give him something unsafe but also don't want to chuck the milk unncecessarily!

Can you post a pic? Most likely mould but I would not dump your breast milk

You can get food safe anti bac sprays - (eg astonish): use that on outside of bags if your are concerned

I would have no concerns at all re this FR adults or even kids food, but I understand yiu may be worried as it’s baby food. The mould thrives on door seals as they are wet: it’s not the case inside the freezer
