Answer

What should I do if I buy mouldy food in a Mallorca supermarket?

Keep the product, the receipt and any packaging if you can, and return to the store as soon as possible. If the item is clearly spoiled, ask for it to be taken back and documented, especially if it is chilled or imported food. If you believe there is a wider hygiene problem, you can also contact local consumer protection or the health authorities in Mallorca.
