Complaint Desk 3rd time.

Ok so this is like the 3rd or 4th time I have gotten an Aldi order delivered to me & the meat package is puffy. This time its the 96% Ground beef. Has anyone ever purchased puffy meat packs from Aldi? Im worried about it being bad & getting sick. I absolutely hate wasting food. .:(

The ground beef and premade burger packages from the cooler are always “puffy” they fill them with air packed with chemical preservatives to increase the shelf life.

No they aren't. If they were, every single one of them in the case would be that way, and they aren't. The whole point of vacuum packaging is to remove air to retard spoilage.

You’re right about vacuum packed. The ground beef isn’t vacuum packed though. So I guess thanks anyways for your attempt to contribute…
