    It's not like cheese or something where you can cut off the mould and eat food the mould hasn't touched. When you remove the mouldy bit of a sultana, I wouldn't imagine there's much left at all!

  • It might not even be mould, it could be naturally occurring yeast which was present on the grapes before they were dried and became sultanas. I had a glass jar full of sultanas which popped open under the pressure of CO2 once, the glass lid flew off and damaged a brand new kitchen appliance nearby.

    I think the consensus is "bin them". It goes against the grain to waste food, but it seems the sensible thing to do.
