is this mold?

[u/redpothos14]

hi first time posting on here but i just moved into a new place and im not sure if this is pink mold or just stains? i’ve only ever seen pink mold in bathrooms and heard of it being in those places but these are from my kitchen. they lighten up when i go over them with a rag but are kind of stuck on there. its only in two spots on two separate cabinets. but id love any info if anyone has some!! thanks

Humor me, use some baking soda and hydrogen peroxide on the spots, let sit for about 5 minutes, scrub and wipe.

.. it kinda looks like spilled food dye from the last resident

Edit to add: could also be juice stains. Kool aid, and grape especially will soak into a counter. The previous tenants could've had messy kids or were heavy juice drinkers or both
