In my 51 years I’ve never seen mold grow in a freezer. Preferably a mycologist would chime in to clarify if there are any molds that grow under those circumstances.

My guess is that 1) there was a supply chain issue where the product wasn’t held at the right temp long enough for it to mold, then continued on its journey to a home freezer. Or 2) “Oops! I bought too many groceries and can’t fit everything in the freezer. I’ll just throw this box in the fridge (and proceed to forget it exists.)”
