Coldroom way to humid. What to do?

my wife thought our fridges are too small and went and had a walk in fridge / cold room installed.

I though its crazy, but I always think: happy wife; happy life.

So its running and its cold; really cold. But the problem is that the humidity in the room is at 95% at +4 degrees.
And its growing fungus on the paper bags because of the huge humidity; so we had to dump a lot of stuff.

The guy that installed it just shrugs his shoulders and tells us that the humidity wasn't specified in the contract and we have to live with it.

I'm just used to fridges and air cons and both dry things always out.
I've got the feeling that the fans in the coldroom are running so fast that the humid air is so fast that it can't condense, so the drain pipe is draining only a few drops from time to time.

Anyone here that is able to suggest a solution?

Hope my wife doesn't get this idea in her head. She just complained yesterday that our fridge is too small.

Had a butchery many years ago but never had this issue with my cold room. I would get a different company in to see what the issue is. Go to one of your local butchers and get a referral from them.

Call in another professional for opinion and advice! I think someone screwed up.

Thats exactly what my wife did. She was referred to this guy by 2 different people and he did actually a VERY good job for a reasonable price.
Clean and neat installation and everything is good; except the humidity. He says he wants to help and he's waiting for the engineer from his equipment supplier to get back to him about this problem, but thats a month ago and no improvement.

And a coldroom is actually pretty cool if you have a party and need lots of cold drinks. etc.

now she wants to warm me up for a freezer room ..........
