I used to own a retail produce outlet. It is all in the quality that they buy

Fred Meyer is under Kroger, and Smith's is the same company in Utah, but I haven't noticed a great difference in produce

Moldy cheese adds flavor. This is not TIC. I love moldy cheese.

Wait, doesn't everyone do this? The cheese isn't actually bad on the inside, just cut off the mold and you're good to go

Perhaps. Not me though

most of the cheese is moldy as it ages...they just cut it off before you see it
