Can You Eat A Bushel Of Berries If One Has Mold?

You might be tempted to throw away a pack of berries if even one of them is moldy, but that isn't necessary. Professionals advise that a single moldy berry doesn't spoil the bunch.

USDA suggests picking out the moldy berries and any that were in direct contact with them, but the remaining ones can be consumed if they are fresh and aren't overly soft.

However, wash them thoroughly before eating them and try to eat them as soon as possible, as leftover spores from the moldy fruits can linger

and propagate within a few days.
