Can go bad if you get it wet. Sounds like that is what happened. Next time consider storing it in an air-tight container.

It may still be OK to use, but personally I wouldn't risk it.

Glass is not prefered for storage IMHO, I use a plastic bag that I try to get the air out of before closing.


Store with desiccant to keep it nice and dry in the jar.

why not glass?

doesn't most plastic overtime allow air through its walls?

Malt Extract and Agar Agar are Hygroscopic and will draw moisture out of the air as soon as you open the container, every time you open the container. Glass is Porous and will allow the moisture to be drawn in through the glass itself.
If there isn't any mold growing on it I would have to say that through my experiences that its most likely fine for use.
