Could frozen food have gone bad?
I was just at the supermarket and bought large ice cream tubs from the freezer. The tubs were so thick with ice that you could barely read the writing, and there was also some ice in the cupboard.
Was the freezer defrosted and the ice cream now spoiled? Well, I bought it anyway because this kind is so rare…
Just because something is thawed, it doesn’t have to be “bad”. In the supermarket it is more common that once the cooling chain is interrupted, nobody needs to do something because it simply lacks personnel. If ice is soaked, it turns out, for example, you would see if it had to come out for a long time without cooling. If the ice is still in shape, I wouldn’t worry about it.
It’s beakers, pretty hard beakers that don’t deform.
The ice would still deform, as it can have been packed/filled in plastic, glass or anything else.
The cooling chain is interrupted, at least with us, but also from pure slumber. The cabinets are open to us, while the sellers are happy to entertain themselves and don’t care about the cabinets. Most of them are sloppy and nothing else.
No one here knows how long this was without cooling… so you can’t say if it’s “bad”. I wouldn’t have bought it.
I had asked the cashier at the checkout, who was hard to do with the dense cups and I asked if they could be bad now….she denied and said that it was just….and then broke the sentence. In short, they didn’t know anything and wanted to sell it.
They have nothing to do with the cash register. They’re just doing “their” work, and they’re sitting down their hours. Nowadays there are no specialist personnel.
I’ve been writing. I don’t have the “I don’t care” attitude. It is especially about shopping and employees. And if DIR don’t like the questions…just don’t answer them.
The “me doesn’t care” attitude is perfect to ask such questions. :
You know what, honestly, I don’t care what people work anywhere. I’m just buying because I have to buy something somewhere. And I do that, no more and no less.
For example, Rewe has extra staff, which is exclusively responsible for the cashier, while Aldi has to be able to do everything, be it the cashier, or the clearance of goods, because this also saves personnel.
But has she just given the closet?! And with us, at Edeka works a very nice lady at the checkout for a few hours a week and that has still granted NIE shelves. That.
People at the checkout also work when cleaning up. I’ve never heard that there are pure cashiers. Not at any supermarket.
