Common blue mold, Penicillium sp. is a fungi used in food industry to prevent infection by bacteria or other harmful fungi. That is because of penicilin (yes, the vaccine!), a molecule that prevents the building of cell walls, which leads bacteria and other fungi to death.

Yes, if bacon turns any other color other than what it started out as, then it is either bad and unedible, or it has molded.

You can wash mold off anything, but it doesn't mean you should eat it.
