I go grocery shopping regularly in Aldi, Edeka, and Cactus Remich (as they all have products that the other doesn’t). I live in Germany.

Somehow, the Cactus Remich is the only one where products often get moldy/expire way before the expiration date. It’s always products that are packed, not fresh fruit. For instance a vacuum-sealed ham I bought turned green long before the due date which was 30 April! Or other products like cheeses or flammkuchen dough that gets moldy way before the date. All these products were immediately brought home and stored in the fridge.

If I had this problem with all my food I’d say that there is probably an issue with my fridge. But there isn’t! Products from any other grocery store are doing fine, and in some cases are even edible after the due date.

Considering the staggering price difference compared to Cactus, it is a shame.
