Can cereal get moldy?

Question

we have a box of lucky charms in the pantry for about 3 months or more and we were wondering if it gets moldy

Answer 1

Depends if the cereal has been opened or not. If it has been open and not wrapped properly then yes, over time it will get moldy.

Answer 2

only if it is moist.

Answer 3

Yes, it can. Especially if not kept in an air-tight container. BUT things have so much preservative added in them that these days, the 'moldy date' can be way into the future.
