If i see a tiny but of mold on a slice of cheese can I tear the part with the mold off and still eat the rest of the untouched cheese?

Most people here saying it’s fine for hard cheese but not for soft ones or bread. I mean, they’re not wrong. But you asked about a tiny bit of mould.
I’ve removed the mouldy parts of hard cheese, soft cheese, cream cheese, breads, and fruits, and have eaten the rest more times I can remember. I never got sick from it. If you are considering eating what’s left of food after discarding a mouldy part, make sure to judge by smell and sight as well. Does it stink? Is the color off? Taste a little bit, is it bitter or sour? If the answers to all these are “no”, then it’s very likely safe.
