    Bottom right is Peppes pizza. The bases come pre-sauced and frozen in packs of 20. You put them into an oiled pan and put racks of these pans into a leavening cupboard. They puff up a lot, but they need to be used the same day. Because they fall pretty quickly.

    My guess is that they accidentally dropped a couple of boxes down the stairs and shattered them to the point they couldn’t be used. Tossed them into the bin without thinking and the midday sun took care of the rest.

    Similarly with chain pizza places like PJ’s, the dough is made at a central location and distributed by truck twice a week. It’s kept refrigerated for a while but it needs to be taken out of the fridge to rise. Sometimes franchises will order too much and it develops a black marbling of dead yeast, when it gets old. Can’t sell it at that point so you toss it in the bin.

    In short it’s a failure of capitalism.

      how is making a mistake while trying to adhere to food safety standards a failure of capitalism?

        I’m talking about the over ordering and generally crappy quality of products in the name of cutting costs. If you have to order dough a week ahead of time it tends to go bad. If you’re making it fresh every day then it’s never more than a day and a half old.
