I just found 4-5 cheese tortellini with dark/moldy spots in an open, but refrigerated bag that was supposed to be good well into December. With food prices these days, I’m kinda salty about it.
Not every store has such a great policy as TJ’s has, with returns no questions asked.
Yes, our most local supermarket habitually keeps their refrigerated cases too warm (I assume for thrift), so buying dairy there is a crap shoot that I do not indulge in anymore.
Tortellini (like several other refrigerated items) are normally (Rana ?) stored in MAPs which obviously change when you open them. The “best before date” for those items works only when they are unopened.
Once you open the bag, doesn’t it say you need to use up the contents within a certain number of days (like 2-3)? Did they go off before that time?
