I used to work for one of the "big two" supermarkets, and honestly, the amount of time as a shopper, I found mouldy produce made me feel too sick to shop at my own store! Whenever possible I will try to purchase from markets or our fantastic local continental shop.

There is so much pressure on the limited staff at these big grocery stores to get their produce out that they just don't look at what is already out (ie mouldy or rotting produce)
