Berries that have not come in contact with the 'furry mold' sections can still be used, as long as they are washed very carefully. Never reuse the utensils used to remove mold without thoroughly rewashing and sanitizing them. Professional health inspectors are especially critical of practices that lead to cross-contamination, such as using dirty knives to process clean food. Treat moldy products as you would raw chicken- sanitize the entire area and wash your hands thoroughly before doing any prep work. Make sure your storage units have been cleaned thoroughly and that your refrigerator is keeping foods below 40 degrees Fahrenheit at all times.
