‘This is called not wasting’: Grocery store worker says he has to do ‘reworking’ of moldy strawberries

A grocery store worker has issued a warning: the produce you buy at the grocery store might not be as fresh as you expect.

In a video with over 1.4 million views, TikTok user Izzy (@izzybizzyglizzzy) shows how he’s “exposing grocery stores” after revealing what his store does when fruit has started to show signs of mold.

“What we do is called ‘reworking. We’re taking out the moldy stuff in here, throwing it away, then putting it and saving some of it in here, or it goes back on the floor.”

“This becomes ‘this,’” he states, showing a container of mixed fruit slices. “Cut up, sold for way more money.”
