Cr*p - a bit of mold in pasta sauce... wwyd?

I just discovered, after making mini pizzas for me and the kids, that there was a bit of mold on the inside lid of the pasta sauce jar (was opened and then refrigerated).  Crap!!!  Would you eat them?  Will the oven kill anything in the sauce?  I did visually inspect the sauce and didn't see any, but then looked on the lid when I was closing it up after making them and noticed it on the lid. 

What should I do?  I'm baking them at 425 for 5-10 min.

For me, I'd toss them and go to plan B. It's not worth the worry.

Thanks.  Yeah I tossed them.  What a waste of food, makes me so mad!  I usually have pasta sauce stocked up in the pantry but don't for some reason.  I used the two flatbreads I had and made new pizzas without sauce... more like an Italian quesadilla but the kids ate them.

I got food poisoning last night, so after that awful experience, I would definetly throw it out.

I'd toss.

Yeah thanks.  I probably sound like a freak for even asking.  I'm usually super cautious when it comes to food safety but my husband is a bit more adventurous so I think he is rubbing off on me.

Sounds like us. I would toss them, DH would likely pretend he didn't see the mold.
