Causes and Symptoms
- Fungi forming on kimchi could pose health risks so it is important to identify the kind of fungus.
- If there is blue, green or black growth on kimchi, the kimchi must be disposed of.
Also dispose the kimchi if there are white spots (Kahm yeast) across the entire batch or if there is mold growing on top of the white spots. - Mold toxins are highly resistant to heat and cannot be completely eliminated through cooking.
Even if you remove the visibly affected parts, mold toxins or spores that cannot be seen with the naked eye could have dispersed throughout the entire batch. - As consuming spoiled kimchi could result in food poisoning, please exercise caution.
They often appear on the surfaces of fermented food such as kimchi, soy sauce, soybean paste, etc.
