  • "Echoing what others have said about the produce: for the price point, it is very low quality."
  • "I'm a vegan so once a month I shop there for vegan cheeses. They not always have what I want."
  • "Mold problem in store. I’d say 30% of the Berry produce are growing black fluffy mold."
  • "Produce sold here is always either going bad or goes bad within a few days."
  • "Over the past 6 months the quality of the fish has fallen drastically: smell of ammonia, rotten fish and parasites (mainly anisakis) like there is no tomorrow."
