Are there white spots and moldy on the rice cake?

The rice cake is moldy and can't be eaten.

The rice cake is a kind of cake made of glutinous rice. Moldy glutinous rice, like moldy rice we usually eat, can't be eaten. This white, yellow, green and black mold appearing on rice cakes is called aflatoxin. Aflatoxin likes dark, humid and warm environment, which is common in spring and summer every year. Its toxicity is 68 times that of arsenic. Eating aflatoxin will harm human liver tissue, even lead to liver cancer and even death. As a carcinogen by the World Health Organization, rice cakes infected with aflatoxin are inedible and unhealthy.
