What to do when you find mould on the outside of a canning jar.

Finding mold or mould on the outside of a sealed canned jar of food can be a real shock.

If the jar is still sealed and the food looks good, it should be safe to consume, but first you need to wash the mould off the jar, in warm, soapy water, not hot water because that can break the seal.

Be sure to remove the mold and food residue properly so the jar will stay clean.
