The kind of bagel you'd toss to the pigeons.
Summary
A Yle investigation revealed that Finnish grocery stores (including K-market, K-group, and S-group chains) are failing to maintain proper cold storage temperatures for fish, meat, and fresh produce, with conditions worsening annually. Emeritus professor of bacteriology Pentti Huovinen criticized the stores' self-monitoring systems, calling the results alarming and stating that a 100% success rate should be the standard. Specific findings include K-market selling cold cuts at 14°C, with K-group having issues in 7% of inspections.
