Publix Supermarket 4950 Belle Terre Pkwy Palm Coast 32137

Produce & Refrigerated foods

Items were purchased on June 18, 2018, that is 7 days ago, have receipt and photos of food to prove my claim. Ambient temperature on refrigerator of 0 for freezer and 37 for refrigerator, squash was stored in refrigerator and ravioli was stored in freezer.

Mold was present on ravioli when unwrapped must have been present when purchased as mold will not grow in a 0-degree environment, as for the squash, it had to be rotting from the inside when purchased 7 days earlier, and only the refrigeration saved the exterior of the vegetable from spoiling.

To offer this poor-quality level of food to its customers is disgraceful particularly at the prices being charged. I am particularly concerned about the ravioli, had someone bought this product who was not as astute due to age or failing eyesight and had eaten this! What would have been the implications of having consumed spoiled, mold laden food, could it have caused sickness or worse.

"PUBLIX" is the largest grocery provider in the State of Florida and they consistently sell foods that are on the *** of going bad. In addition to this one experience listed below, I have also purchased apples that when cut open on the same day as purchase where rotten from the inside, I have purchased tomato that spoils at room temperature (77 degrees) in two to three days. These experiences are not that of fresh foods. I think that it is disgraceful for a food supplier the size of Publix to be selling this poor-quality food. I think it is high time the State of Florida Department of Health look into the practices of Publix, storage, handling, date coding, & disposal of food stuffs, particularly refrigerated or produce items this is disgusting, and it needs to be addressed by some state agency. It is clearly obvious Publix supermarkets are incapable of policing their own product!

Reason of review: Bad quality.

Monetary Loss: $8.

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

Location: 4950 Belle Terre Pkwy, Palm Coast, FL 32137, USA
