Mouldy rice pack from Tesco. (Damaged pack.)

I'm not sure how common these sealed packs of pre-cooked microwave rice are around the world, but I've always wondered how they can keep them sterile for so long. I've also wondered what would happen if the pack got damaged in storage or had a leak in the seal that allowed air to get in.
That was answered recently when a work colleague noticed I was using these packs as handy meals and got one to try. What he didn't notice was that there was a slight cut in the packaging, possibly from the factory, during shipping or perhaps overzealous opening of a box with a knife in the store.
He said it looked and tasted odd and asked me if it was normal. That was when we found the green mould and slit in the packaging.
So here's what it looks like when you open a damaged pack of microwave rice. Remember to check these packs thoroughly before using them.
