@MissGayle IMO in 4th world country Czech Republic, EU🇪🇺, onions are practically unavailable. Majority of them is moldy (incl. between the peels something which looks like Aspergillus niger) or rotten, I don't want to risk cancer from mold toxins like aflatoxin, ochratoxin. In 3rd world developing dictatorship Cambodia the situation was the same except spring onions were not rotten.
I already sent 2 complaints to the Czech state food quality inspectorate. They wrote they went to both supermarkets and in #1 the amount of moldy and rotten pieces was within EU🇪🇺 standards (IMO EU🇪🇺 standards for feeding people with carcinogenic decomposing compost), which I disagree with. In #2 they said they didn't find the problem (rotten spring onion) but they found unrelated decomposing pumpkins for which they "initiated official misdemeanor procedure" or something like that, but didn't write whether they actually fined the seller.
There is no way to actually submit photographs as evidence, they always go there and do their own official sample, so IMO it's like playing an ineffective whackamole with rotten onions.
The difference to Cambodia is that there, sole proprietorships pay 0% taxes below $62 500 revenue per year and 2.73% in the next tier.
I am fine if a state says "pay less taxes, we won't check quality of vegetables, you have to haggle it yourself using market mechanisms".
But to pay developed country taxes and get developing country food quality, in that case I feel
s t r o n g c o n t e m p t
towards the Czech regime.
Recently I managed to find 1 good onion in the supermarket so I hope in the future luck will smile at me again and I won't live in malnutrition in an allegedly developed country.
