"As most products are fine - I've also had items moldy out of the box (expiration date in the future) - it's also interesting I'm not the only person who has reported this issue on here.\n\nExample: fresh tortillas purchased 2/10 sell by 2/15 - when opened 2/10 (3-4 hours after purchase) there are four spots of black mold on the item.\n\nThis isn't the first time for having a spoiled item either, having had bad meat on two occasions. I've also seen items (dairy) days past there sell by date on the shelf\n\nI start to prefer NOT to shop there due to when getting a bad product, it's then a 6 mile hassle to deal with a return/exchange/refund, but the wife does otherwise.\n\nMake your choices, but, I prefer to avoid THIS Sprouts location as there is an issue somewhere in the stores operations that's allowing this type of behavior to continue to happen. \n\nFor what it's worth, I've never had the same quality issues at the Dobson/Ray location."^^ .
