Picked up the very last pot of Ben and Jerry's Phish Food in the supermarket freezer this afternoon - it was being ignored because there was a blob of ice cream on the outside of the pot.
I gave it a cursory inspection and bought it, took it home and wiped it off before putting it in my freezer - and although the plastic seal hasn't split, it has come away from the lid edge, hence a small blob of leakage.
It's ok to eat isn't it - it's less of an airtight seal for hygiene and more of an anti-leak seal isn't it, as there's no plastic seal under the lid? If it's been properly frozen it should be fine right...right? I doubt it's been on the shelf longer than a day, it sells out really fast.
