How to avoid it
If you’re keeping a certain food for months in your fridge, there’s not much you can do to avoid mold. The best practice is to eat any food while it’s fresh, shortly after purchasing it from the grocery store.
When serving foods, it’s ideal to keep them covered to prevent mold exposure that might lurk in the air. Before putting the food away, cover it in plastic foil to avoid any harmful exposure.
If you have canned food leftovers, make sure to remove the food from the can as soon as possible and move it to a clean container. Refrigerate as soon as possible to avoid any risk of mold forming.
As a final rule of thumb, Gravani adds that you should toss out the food when you spot mold as it will travel and invade the rest of your food, too.
