(info "(org) Literal Examples") says
There is one limitation, however. You must insert a comma right
before lines starting with either ‘*’, ‘,*’, ‘#+’ or ‘,#+’, as those may
be interpreted as outlines nodes or some other special syntax. Org
transparently strips these additional commas whenever it accesses the
contents of the block.
