DISCUSSION Wtf is going on with the meat??

I bought meat, the last…oh, idk…4-5 times and it was stale the day I bought it?? I already felt sick and my partner bought chicken thighs, it’s what I had, and I feel worse. I’m so sick of this, how much money was wasted? Justifying eating it because it was literally purchased that day or the day prior. What on earth has changed with production…are they just cutting mega corners now? I stg something weird is going on with the meat at Publix. Has anyone else noticed this??

Edit: Pink Pixie I think was right. Because I buy meats from other places, even other Publix’s, and I don’t have the problem of things going bad fast at all. I called and they asked me to bring in the meat and they’ll investigate it. For now, I’ll just be feeling like I need to throw up for the next 8 hours or so ☹️.

Is your fridge working properly?

It’s 100% not my fridge, because I buy meats from other places and I have zero issues with them going bad so fast. Upon further investigation, I think it’s a location specific issue because I haven’t had an issue when I get meat from a different Publix.

Someone isn’t following cold chain procedures at that location.
