Two boxes of moldy strawberries and a package of moldy cheese were found in a box with limes. Per PIC, the strawberries are not used at the establishment, but the cheese is.

PIC discarded the items at time of inspection, placed new items in and surrounded them on all sides with ice. Please ensure items are cold-held at 41*F or below.
