High moisture produce
Anything with a high moisture content molds relatively quickly, Alibrandi says.

Other produce should be stored in sealed containers to protect it from airflow and moisture as well.
Bread
If you really want toprotect your bread from mold, Alibrandi recommends investing in a bread box.
But get rid of the part with the moldyou can still eat the rest, she says.

Cheese
Cheese mold is confusing.
Similar to bread, you dont have to throw it all away though, Alibrandi says.
Coat your cheese in plastic wrap before storing it in the fridge to prolong its life.
That way, every last morsel will end up in your mouth, not the trash.
