Hi folks,
I saw a previous (closed) thread stipulating that mold can't grow on sugar. I have an old package of dark Muscovado sugar from Mauritius stored in the original plastic bag; it has small area of white here and there on the clumps of sugar which looks like mold. Water and nutrients are needed for mold formation; perhaps due to the high molasses content, both of these are present. On the other hand, I have my doubts that it could be mold; candy and honey also have nutrients but don't grow fungi... what do you all think?
