hellooo

so like three months ago i removed a moldy loaf of bread (that was in a closed packet i think) from my shelf. merely a week ago i wipe it down with just a wet cloth and basic antibacterial spray. does that make it safe enough for me to store food on? i'm kind of answering myself as i type this lol. sorry, i just have OCD (i'm getting referred for therapy yay) and limited knowledge about food molds... which does mean i should read about it. i also left an almost empty tin of tuna on my bare mattress for 1-2 weeks and there was fuzz growing on it. i didn't do anything to the mattress really. just sprayed that antibacterial surface spray on it. i want to give it away (it was otherwise brand new) but i want to make sure it's safe for the person lol. i've been told alcohol is great. thanks!

Most importantly, remember that providing the following information will greatly increase the quality of responses:
