Why did my my ghee from your company develop green mold after opening within 2 weeks?

Joanna K. - please let me clarify. What I meant by clean is that it did not touch anything else before use. Apparently with ghee, it needs to be one step just below sterile or close to sterile. So, if you used the ghee to add to soup or something where condensation could have been picked up onto the spoon (not saying you dipped the spoon in the soup), use another spoon for the next dip in the jar. Hope this helps.

Possibly it got contaminated either by dipping out of it with a utensil that was not completely clean, or if you left it open or didn't close it tightly after each use. My ghee from this company hasn't had that problem at all and it can take me up to a month or more to use a jar. I don't refrigerate it, and I have never had that happen.

Not sure but it's possible you did not use a clean spoon each time you took some out of the jar. It is easy to contaminate the product this way.

I ordered mine almost 2 months ago...no mold then and still no mold. I keep them on the shelf, in the bag they arrived in and inside a 2nd ziplock bag with all the air squeezed out. They still look, smell, and taste wonderful. :) I bet it was a bad batch. And if that happens with anything, I normally just contact the company right away and it gets sorted out. If not, Amazon is wonderful with customer service issues!

I had hydra in my tank along with green water, after putting this in I have niether. Hydra might have detached abnd gone through the green machine

Like other said, dark green color is correct. Mine smelled more like a mildewy moldy smell (The MSDS lists it as "slightly fishy"). I wouldn't recommend whiffing this too often, it is full of bacteria (the MSDS says "avoid inhalation").http://www.bonide.com/lbonide/msds/msds802.pdf

Just noticed ours is moldy (after 2 years on the spout!) and I'm going to replace it. But the entire inside is coated with black. Yuck!

The packaging said three weeks to a month, but I only got half a week before lots of mold grew.

Yes - I just had two gross bags from costco - they all tasted fine but when I ripped one open, it was moldy on inside and had lots of little egg-like things (not the fig seeds). Maybe worm eggs? no idea but I am so grossed out and never eating them again, which is a shame cause I loved them! I will return both bags and contact dealer.

My girl has been raised on all products "Wellness" and has just celebrated her 2nd birthday. She is in great health, active (maybe too much) and her Vet is very pleased as am I, with her overall well-being. I am an RN and also allergic to mold. There has not been any signs of mold or quality issues with this product in my experience for the past 24 months.

It doesn't take long usually within 2 weeks you should see a little sprout popping up out of the pod

honestly, i didn't know, but i have been brewing for over two months now and have made over fifty bottles of kombucha; i also have four separate gallon jars for my scobys and not one problem of mold, mildew or fungus. I had to give some babies away and am hoping soon someone will take my new ones, i took a leap, and am glad i did it.

I could not find any reference to this answer online either. I've had mine for about a year and it is still good. The directions indicate it must be refrigerated after opening. I use only about a teaspoon at a time as it is very sweet and not much is required depending on what you are making. I was interested to see one response stated that mold could grow on top once it has gone bad so I will keep a closer watch on it. Thanks for asking the question.

That is weird, I have only ever had green ones. I'd contact the manufacturer.

Great question! Greens never last that long in my house. I emailed our product coach and will respond with an answer as soon as I have one. How long has yours been opened?

I haven't but the place I keep it is very dry plus I do open it about once a month. Maybe that is why I haven't had any mold.

Pure Indian Foods has a FAQ on their website. I found it by using the keywords "ghee unopened". They use the rule I was taught. You can exceed the "best by" date if the product has no odd change, odor or appearance. My grandmother never went by the expiration dates. If it tastes, looks or smells "off" discard.

What such a weird mistake! What kind of company is this! Are you sure it's black seed inside? Because it could be Mustard seed or something else!! [http://www.amazon.com/Indus-Organic-Black-Mustard-Seeds/dp/B005U8NMFC/ref=pd_sim_gro_18]. I'd contact the company/Amazon & let them know to see what they have to say about it, or replace you those bottles. Truth to say; they have a good ORGANIC black seed, is the only 1 I'm using myself, it's good quality seed, unless one bottle was strongly moldy smelling, (I will continue buying from them & if the future purchases seem to be good I'll review my feedback to them). Black seed for me is my medicine to my autoimmune disease, but I was never able to get used to its strong bitter taste, I grind it in a special coffee burr machine & fill it out in my vcaps myself, Excellent.
