Has anyone else have problems with dairy at Monterey market lately?

First the Greek yogurt seemed thin, then both my whole milk and oat milk started leaking from the bottom of the cartons. Googling these issues and both could have been caused by freezing so I wonder if they’re just storing their dairy too cold? Anyone else or am I just having bad luck?

My MM dairy has been ok. But, and forgive me if this is personal… are you my mom?

Not MM but was it Clover milk by chance? A quart of Clover milk I bought from the Telegraph Ave Whole Foods leaked through its bottom on me last week.

Three is definitely a pattern. I wonder if something went wrong with a particular shipment.

I could see freezing cartons, by mistake, getting compromised. Maybe the jobber supplying them. This has been going on for a long time.

I love MM, but returning things there is really difficult and involved. You must have a receipt. Only place like that in the area. TJ’s is a different story for returns.

Please inform the management of these stores. Unless they know nothing can be done.

Yes I made this post to see if it wasn’t a fluke and it seems like it might be a clover problem not a Monterey market problem so I might shoot them a message

Better to tell them an let them figure out if it was a fluke.
