A member asked:

I was eating some strawberries when i noticed that one strawberry out of the container had mold. is it ok if i ate the non-moldy ones? 33 weeks preg.

Should be just fine: Fortunately, our stomach acid is a great first line defense against many of the things we encounter (often unknowingly) in our foods. The amount, if any, of the mold you ingested will likely bring no harm to you or your fetus. However, vomiting, diarrhea or cramping should prompt a call to your OB/gyn.
