Mold on Duck Rillettes
I bought a slice (from a terrine) of duck rillettes from Whole Foods about a week ago; they put it into a plastic container which I stored in my fridge. I opened it today and on the "rind" of the terrine is a lush carpet of white mold. The inner, exposed sliced part is free of mold. Should I play it safe and dump it, or slice off the rind and eat the mold-free inside? What can I do to prevent this in future?
I assume the mold spores must have landed on the rind while in the deli case at Whole Foods (stored next to the salami etc), and germinated while in the plastic container during the week. The sell-by date is today, btw.
Thanks!
