I love raspberries, but during the last couple years they were very susceptible to mold. If you bought them one day, there would usually be mold developing the next day. This year seems better already- first carton of raspberries, perfectly ripe but not overripe, not a lot of extra moisture in the package, and no mold the day after purchasing them. They'll be gone by the end of the day.
