FOOD’S SECRET
Secret To Prevent Mold In Food
Nothing ruins the appetite quite like pulling mold-covered food, such as cottage cheese and yogurt, out of the refrigerator at mealtime. And mold can be rather pervasive. Tiny mold spores get onto the surfaces of food when you open and close containers. With oxygen and enough time to grow, the little spores can then grow into visible mold. The way to keep mold from growing is to turn the food containers upside down—the mold will then suffocate. Just be sure you get the lids on tight enough to prevent leakage. Even though most molds are harmless, no one enjoys the sight of moldy food.
New Plastic Bread-Bag Danger Revealed
Researchers at the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute in Piscataway, New Jersey have reported a potential health hazard with plastic bread bags. In a study which involved 18 breads, including white bread, whole wheat, pita bread, and bagels, researchers discovered that paint from the outside of the bread bags can leach lead into food. Based on those findings, researchers recommend that if you reuse such plastic bread bags to hold food, make sure they are right or painted side out.
The federal Food and Drug Administration has previously conducted research which shows that lead-based paint presents no danger whatsoever on the outside of the packages. That’s because the paint doesn’t come into contact with food.
