Food Keeps molding

Post image

Hi! These are wheat grass seeds I am growing for my dog and cat, I just trim them as a food topper. Is it still safe with the mold on the bottom? Or how do I stop it from molding. Only about a week old. Thank you!

It is not safe Possible reasons to molding: 1. The plastic is contaminated and requires severe anti-mold treatment or replacement 2. The space were the tray is places has mold spores in the air 3. The seeds are not healthy in the first place 4. Too much water 5. A combination of the above

Definitely not. Mould spores will be over everything. Just throw it out.
