Some molds are used to make certain kinds of cheeses including Roquefort, blue, Camembert etc. The mold on these cheeses is safe to eat. Mold on other types of cheeses should not be there. Discard any soft cheese showing mold. Discard any soft fruits or vegetables, jams and jellies, bread, and baked goods that show signs of mold. Do not eat any of the products showing signs of mold even after cutting the piece showing mold growth.
