Question

How long does it take for restaurant french fries to get mold?

Answer 1

If you have to ask... throw them away!

Answer 2

If the fries are from McDonald's, they won't get moldy.  My kids dropped some under the seat and I forgot to pick them up.   It was about 5 years later and I decided to sell the car.  Guess what I found the fries.  I couldn't smell them and they were not moldy.  I know it was around 5 years because that was the last time I took them to McDonald's in my car.  My son spilled his coke on the seat and that really made me made.   Absolutely a true story.

Answer 3

Kenia,

I would hope there would be no mold on any ff at a restaurant.  Namely if they were not used the day they are cooked they should be tossed.  No mold there.  If frozen, they don't mold but get freezer burn but are still edible.  Lastly, if they were made from fresh spuds,  the spuds could be bad but the bad would be cut off - so no mold there.  

I wouldn't worry about mold on my fries.
