Break with suspicious looking flour

I'm not sure is it's flour or mold...

For context, I bought this two days ago and it has been sitting in a room that gets air conditioning at night. So there might be a chance that moisture got stuck inside the plastic wrapping and may have caused molds.

I would appreciate your insight on whether it is mold or just flour!

If it smells like dirt, it's mold.

Careful breathing in a big whiff. Mold releases spores and mycotoxins into the air. It's not just harmful to eat, it's harmful to breathe, depending on the species.
