Ok, I've totally been this person. Can anyone ELI5 how mold grows in the freezer? Is my freezer not cold enough, or can it grow sub-zero?

[-] Duranie@lemmy.film 9 points 1 year ago

In my 51 years I've never seen mold grow in a freezer. Preferably a mycologist would chime in to clarify if there are any molds that grow under those circumstances.

My guess is that 1) there was a supply chain issue where the product wasn't held at the right temp long enough for it to mold, then continued on its journey to a home freezer. Or 2) "Oops! I bought too many groceries and can't fit everything in the freezer. I'll just throw this box in the fridge (and proceed to forget it exists.)"

The freezer probably isnt always that cold. i.e its easy to accidentally block the vents near the back and if that happens, it screws up the temperature of the interior of the fridge

The eggos thawed at some point would be my guess.
