Marmalade/jam with mould on it

[seadogg]

Is the white mould patch which can form on jam likely to harm a person. We would throw the jar into the bin, but a neighbour with poor eyesight accidentally ate some and is worried in case it is going to harm her. Anyone know if it could.

We just spoon off the mould, and carry on eating the rest - same as bread with little mould marks, we just pull off the mouldy bit.
