Sage Plant Has White Fuzzy Spots

My sage plant has white fuzzy spots on it. What is that? It grows on my windowsill inside and receives a lot of sun and I don’t over water it. The plant itself looks full and happy. I was just wondering if the fuzziness was a mold or bacteria and is it safe to eat?
