Gumby 06-21-2010 12:02 PM
Fuck that is just nasty.

These items have tons of preservatives to keep them "fresh", so when such items go bad, you KNOW they've been out way too long!

Grim 06-21-2010 12:07 PM

Do you expect them to go to every store every week and check every item.


I also don't see what the big deal is about the mold. You see the mold, tell someone at the store, they take it off the shelf end of story.

Or the packaging was damaged in some way causing the mold.

Maybe not the City, but the staff there should be doing it. Why are we doing their job?

yes i do, like they do in other cities, some cities, you have to post health inspection results on the main door ,so people walking in could see if u , passed or conditional pass. if companies know that they have to post results, they themself would be more proactive about it.

besides, these were clearence items, therefore somebody had to look at them , see the date, and stamp for clearence.

A remember a local news story from a couple years back ,where they went around to different stores and checked expiry dates.They said there is no law that requires product to be removed on or after they expire,selling moldy product may be different though.

it may seem like a small problem if the mold happened on just one or two packages. However, there were more aside from the clearance section. That being said, multiple molding on packages 1-2months away from its EXP date just doesnt seem right.

damages to the package? sure. But nearly the whole entire section?

unit 06-21-2010 01:59 PM
this is pretty common.
i see molded products all the time in supermarkets. just gotta be careful picking what you buy.

It's a best before date it does not mean the product is no good after the date.

Couldn't you buy that, "eat " some of it, and then start a lawsuit since they sold you bad food?

safeway is garbage. they sell what everyone else sells but for double the price.

save-on-food and costco are much better if you want better meats.

walmart, pricesmart and superstore if you want cheap.
