I buy cheese whether it is store brand such as Kroger Sharp Shredded Cheddar Cheese or Sargento Provolone Slices and Shredded Mozzarella. Thing is, no matter which brand I purchase it ends up getting moldy months before its expiration date. Example: I purchased Kroger Shredded Cheddar Cheese and opened it in July. Its expiration date is in December. It is the end of August and there is already mold on the shredded cheese. Our fridge is fairly new and is on the coldest setting. All cheese is stored in the deli box in the middle and I have even tried moving the cheese to the coolest area of the fridge but it still happens. I make sure the bags are sealed tightly after each use, I've tried plastic containers, and I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right. Can someone please explain why all of my cheese is getting moldy months before the expiration date on the bags???? Thanks!
