Anyone noticing more spoiled food from grocery stores recently?

I don’t know if this is just me or specific to my area, but I have thrown out more food from being spoiled in the last 6 months than I think I have in my entire life. 

Everything has been well before the “sell by” or expiration date. I’m talking meat that has a week or more left before it expires and yet it smells rancid. I bought butter that isn’t supposed to expire for a year or more and it tasted sour and smelled gross.

Also, I have had to become more diligent about checking expiration dates because places are leaving expired foods on the shelves. But again, I’m having more frequent experiences with non-expired food being rancid well before the expiration date. 

I have switched grocery stores 3 or 4 times but this issue keeps happening and I am having to pitch food each week that according to the label, should still be fresh.

In case anyone isn’t digging deep enough, the health inspector engaging in this thread has informed us that the food industry doesn’t believe this is happening because “the data isn’t there”.

Maybe they will. But if you buy something before the expiration date and it’s already expired, that’s the fault of someone else in the supply chain.

If we never report the problems, they won’t know there ARE problems - let alone have the info they need to find the source of the problems to fix them.

I applaud your desire to fight. Now if only you would fight the right way instead of relying upon your mafia gov't to save you. 

They don't care about you & never did. Their job is to enslave you & nothing more. Please wake up to the Truth!

Harbor Freight is not a good place to be buying perishable food products, Johnny.
