A food safety expert has advised that it's safe to cut the mold off firm fruit and marmalade, but to avoid soft cheeses, yogurts, and pasta sauces if they are moldy. The expert also suggested cutting an inch off the product if mold is present and not putting the knife in the mold to avoid cross-contamination.
