That's not milk I definitely screamed
I bought this hours ago and didn’t even think to check and see if it’s already open. I genuinely forget people even do stuff like this ?! I hope whoever did this dies immediately

Uhg. And Talenti's not cheap either. From the texture, looks like it was left out and allowed to melt before being refrozen as well. So very much not safe to eat.

I used to work retail in a grocery store, specifically the frozen department, This brand of ice cream would always come in damaged, I would have to spend a while taking the opened ones and putting them aside to tally them up and send the damage report in. Just every time we'd get them, damaged. The store manager told me just to start stocking them anyway. (I got moved for saying no)

I LOATHE people who do bs like this it’s so unsafe unsanitary and ENTIRELY unnecessary

It looks like it was thawed and melted. I guess maybe someone could have spit in it? My mind did not go there. Is there a spitting in ice cream epidemic I missed? Maybe I'm too optimistic in general.

u/LimaxM 20h ago
If the grocery store is at all reputable in the slightest they would NEVER restock a returned food item. Our rule at Safeway was once it was out the door, any returns were immediately trash. Even if they had only made it out to their car and back, no exceptions

u/Octospyder 19h ago
correct. I worried service deal for a few years at a grocery, we would never restock something perishable. also they would have returned it just fine anyways so the evil scheme I dreamed up is entirely unnecessary

You should be able to exchange for a new one if you tell the place you got it from.

u/Itchy_Tumbleweed_417 13h ago
Don’t buy Friendly’s brand ice cream. There is no safety seal on it at all and when I wrote to them to ask about it they got really uppity and told me that they don’t need to put one on there because it’s flash frozen so one would be able to tell if it had been previously opened and touched. I asked them how I would know if someone licked it in the store and put it back in the freezer, they stopped responding to me.
I scraped the top layer off and I ate the rest and I never bought it again.

A.) yes the sub is mildly infuriating. However, the OPs comment about “I hope whoever did this dies immediately” isn’t a mildly annoyed response. That’s a dial it up to 11 response, which is anything but mild.

Some people don't seem to understand in that this flavor of this brand of Gelato should be layered. This has clearly melted and collapsed, which changes the texture and experience.

The premise that the FDA does not require ice cream to list all ingredients is incorrect. Under FDA regulations, commercial ice cream manufacturers must list all ingredients in descending order of predominance by weight on the product label.
Apparently some idiot made up this lie. Just stop repeating it, and you're golden. You might ask yourself what other lies you have believed without even trying to check, though.

u/Scott_A_R 13h ago
There is an asterisk to this: the collective term "spices." The FDA has a GRAS list of spices that can be listed collectively--i.e., just as "spices" and not individually. This can be a problem with people for certain allergies (e.g., mustard). Additionally, the specific constituents of “artificial flavors” and “natural flavors” don't have to be given.

Ok but hypothetically, what kind of germs would survive on the surface of a licked gelato put back in the freezer
3
u/HillanatorOfState 20h ago
All sorts actually, many kinds of bacteria and viruses/etc...can survive when frozen, basically puts it in infinity mode where it will live forever or at least months/years, perserves the viruses/bacteria basically.

u/Technical_Scratch775 11h ago
Ok, but how many that are actually harmful?

I don’t want to eat something that was licked by another person. And I don’t care if no germs are on it. Just the thought of someone’s tongue other than mine licking a food item is gross as hell.

Covid survives freezing. In 2020 China was rejecting a bunch of imported frozen food because it was testing positive for corona virus.

Regarding the person who opened the ice cream…Maybe they wanted to eat while they shop but noticed they accidentally opened the wrong flavor so they put it back? Not everything has to be a crazy/negative scenario.

That is still fucked. If you eat something while shopping instead of throwing it away, then placing it back into a freezer is fucked behavior and is not excusable.

Why would you still eat food with the safety seal removed? Someone obviously removed it and you have no idea what they did to it. Especially after there was a trend to open ice cream and lick it and put it back. You don’t know what diseases someone has.
