On Tuesday, October 22, I bought a net of "Fresca" clementines, 2 kg promotion, at M Scheffelstrasse Zurich. I didn't eat any of them immediately after buying them, but left the net in the kitchen. By Friday, 9 of them were moldy. Two more of the rest this morning. I'm not a fan of pesticides, but even less of food waste. That's why I'm asking how Migros is tackling this problem. Mandarins, clementines and oranges have often gone moldy like this before. Mostly the ones that were on promotion. The clementines on promotion often had dried out insides. Do you buy 2nd class goods for promotions? As these fruits are sold unrefrigerated, I assumed that they don't need to be kept in the fridge. Am I wrong?

? they should not be kept at all, they are best eaten before they reach the shelves at Migros.
Hoi remoapeter, we're sorry that the clementines went moldy. We have clear requirements for our suppliers so that we can offer good quality. We guarantee this by carrying out extensive checks when we receive the goods, but certain deviations only become apparent after some time and are not visually recognizable. Our aim is to prevent this and we can assure you that we do not offer 2nd class goods during promotions. Clementines and other citrus fruits are actually best kept in the fridge. We will inform our supplier and the staff at the goods receiving department about your complaint so that they can raise awareness of poor quality fruit. I hope that you have a good experience with our fruit again in the future. Kind regards, Angela
