I still shop about once a week at my grocery store. Speaking of loose seals,
I bought a jar of Nathan´s refrigerated sauerkraut the other day for
weenies and kraut. When I opened it last night, I saw an anomaly in the
shrink seal. Then the top opened rather easily. Nathan´s tops are usually a
bear to open. I noticed some blackened kraut on the inside of the lid.
It was sauerkraut, for Heaven´s sake. I´ve seen sauerkraut sold in
unrefrigerated barrels in a delicatessen. I neglected to tell the women of my
concerns, and we ate it. So far, so good.
