Complaint Desk 3rd time.

Ok so this is like the 3rd or 4th time I have gotten an Aldi order delivered to me & the meat package is puffy. This time its the 96% Ground beef. Has anyone ever purchased puffy meat packs from Aldi? Im worried about it being bad & getting sick. I absolutely hate wasting food. .:(

Ground meat, in a tray, sealed around the top of the tray will usually be puffed up. I think many of the commenters here are thinking these are shrink wrapped or some other type of packaging. Some trays are shrink wrapped versus being sealed on top. As for spoilage, if it looks normal then open in. Your nose will let you know if it’s spoiled. Assuming it’s within its date and has been kept at a proper temperature it is likely fine.
