Perishable Goods Handling Appraisal

Standard Wire Metal Shopping Cart with Bulk Yogurt Inventory

This item is a standard commercial wire-mesh shopping cart, finished in a dark grey industrial coating, filled to capacity with various individual yogurt cups. The cart features a traditional grid-pattern metal basket, a lower storage rack, and a handle with a black plastic grip. The construction is heavy-duty steel wire with noticeable surface wear, oxidation, and scuffing, particularly along the base and lower rails, suggesting significant use in a warehouse or retail setting. It is equipped with four swivel casters; the wheels appear aged and dusty. Inside the basket, a large quantity of individual-sized yogurt containers are haphazardly arranged. Visible brands include Chobani, identifiable by their signature font and white and blue packaging. The assorted colors of the foil lids and labels indicate various flavors. The grouping appears to be inventory in a backroom or warehouse area, as evidenced by the surrounding stacked cardboard boxes and concrete flooring. The overall condition of the cart is functional but aesthetically worn, while the dairy products are stored in a non-refrigerated environment, which is a critical observation for a perishable inventory appraisal.
