You bought a lot of fresh bread, thinking you’ve got the option to easily finish them.
A few days passed, and you forgot to eat the remaining ones.
You then looked at the bread and saw mold on the surface.

Do you just trim that part away and still eat the bread?
Here are reasons why you shouldnt just cut the mold off old bread perfectly explained byMashedon Youtube.
But know that the visible mold on the surface is only the beginning of the contamination.
The roots or tentacles of the mold can easily penetrate soft foods.
Mold can cause serious health problems such as respiratory distress or allergic responses as noted by Gravely to NPR.
The safest choice is to just throw it away but dont just throw it into your kitchen trash.
If you compost food, you might also do it with moldy bread.
Do not give it to your pets or animals!
The same mycotoxins found in mold can also be toxic to them.
The cold temperature will keep the bread fresh and slow the process of contamination.
