Shelaine Batohi speculated:

"Woolies food stays fresher for longer, not because they do anything funny to the food. They have a strict cold chain from the farm. Which means from the farm, they keep it refrigerated and cold, unlike other places. This means that bacteria have less chance of growing and keep it fresher for longer."

TheCure&TheCause added:

"Guys, Woollies maintains a very STRICT cold chain management system from supplier to store (I know this because my partner works in agri-economics and one of her clients supplies to Woollies). The process of deterioration starts at your house or when you leave the store."

Sisonke shared their theory:

"The reason why it still looks fresh is because they use something called MAP ( Modified Amosphere Packaging) it is a process where the air of a product is replaced with a certain gas for instance, Carbon dioxide or oxygen, and this process helps prevent oxidation and helps maintain the freshness of the food."
