Or, possibly more likely, a non-pathogenic mold contamination. I assume the
lady wouldn't be so offhand if she had not had firsthand experience with
whether the gunk is harmless. In other words, she probably ate the part the
scraper missed and suffered no ill effects. Ticking off the harmful things it
could be, like botulism (most likely too acidic), and various molds which
probably don't do too well in the high sugar concentration, it's very unlikely
the stuff is harmful. If we were to avoid all molds as a rule, there wouldn't
be much left for us to eat, sans fruit, most bread more than a few hours old,
ham, salami, cheese, pickles, etc. Of course, if we're talking about molds in
concentration, that could be a problem, but most people know how sensitive
they may or may not be.
