If they are chilled during the ripening process that can happen. You don't
want to take them below 50 degrees. There may be other factors

Buying peaches these days is a crap shoot. I rarely buy them in the
supermarket for that reason; I've had good looking crappy tasting ones too
often. Local peaches picked ripe are better.
