Help! Am I going to get sick? (Bad salsa)

[Belle5]

I just poured a spoonful of On the Border salsa onto my nachos for lunch. After I ate it I looked at the lid and there was fuzzy fur-stuff growing on it. Repulsive!!! I am freaking out thinking I am going to get food-borne illness.

The citric acid in salsa is a force to be reconned with. I think you'll be fine!!

A little bit of mould never hurt anyone.

Mold seems to like the inside of salsa lids. We do not use our salsa frequently and it will often have some mold.

Our rule: if the mold speaks to you, toss the jar.

Just the opposite. That was pencillin. Your strep throat is about to be cured.
