I don't see what's wrong with this. If you purchased strawberries and some went bad in your fridge what do you do? Throw it all out or just remove the bad ones? I remove the bad ones and eat the good ones. When the farmers pick the berries and some are bad what do you think they do?
Agreed--I have no problem with them taking the stuff that's about to go bad and preparing the rest.
People get queezy about their food being handled but how the heck you think it gets picked and packaged? Usually in a different country by underpaid workers or here by illegal immigrants. They imagine it's equivalent to picking it fresh off the vine? Do people think these prepared fruits chop and mix themselves? Ridiculous.
Our bodies tolerance is much higher than the average person is aware.
The video I want to see is how they make jam and what tolerance levels they have there. I would think any food process that involved heat would let a lot slide...
If they’re moldy, they’re nearing the past due date of their shelf life. You doing it at home after they’ve been in your fridge is nowhere near the same thing as buying what is marketed as fresh. If it’s been sitting out long enough to grow mold, it should be clearly marked as such and the price discounted. Think day-old bread, it’s not fresh but it’s marked as such and the price is reduced - the buyer is aware.
I have no problem with this, we do the same thing at home. Why would you throw out a lb of strawberries because of two bad ones? I'd be more worried about what they are sprayed with.
And where you eat too!
where do you think all the out of date meat goes ,straight to the sink in the deli for a bleach bath ,then off to the rotisseurs for that quick night supper on the way home from work,and then you pick up some chicken salad ,egg salad ,potato salad,tuna salad,everything that has been processed in the deli comes throughout the store that is out of date and slimy,remember years ago Food Lion got busted for doin this ,just sayin.
Agree with not tossing the good with the bad but they need to let us know that we should consume that quickly, and mark the price down, not up
Eh my mom did this all my life. Shed even cut off a moldy corner of brick cheese and be like you'll live. I lived. I throw away any surrounding berries to the bad ones but eh, the rest are fine. I'd rather eat a molecule of mold than bill Gates' potatoes, lettuce, fake meat, etc
Been going on for years and years. I worked in a very upscale store in the 90's in produce. I'd never drink any store made juices as the machines are gross and rotten produce goes into the juices as well as fresh. Wash your produce and you'll be fine. Keep an eye on those rotisserie chickens though... My store used to take the old chickens that smelled, soak them in bleach water, flavor them up and spit roast them to sell to people.
Might explain why those things that mom used to bring home kept giving me diarrhea every time when even KFC and Taco Bell never did that.
Ehh, a little mold won't hurt you! Ha ha!
Good they should do that versus trashing it, wash it just like you would at home
