Wal Mart Stores Head of Bakery Dept. Breads go mouldt before they go stale Morgan Hill, California
I informed the bakery dept that the breads were getting moldy because they were putting the breads in plastic bad while they were still hot and the moister in the breads is trapped and condenses on the plastic that in turn wets the bread crust. Since it warm damp the environment is perfect for mold to flourish. I'm 83 and during the "great depression" breakfast was stale bread dipped in hot cocoa.

Are you out of your mind? In what universe does bread last forever without spoilage? I want some of this magical bread.

Bread is not meant to last much past a week.

The dates are "sell by" not use by. Did you ever hear of a Bread Box? Bread should last for ever, just ask the Egyptians as long it not subject to damp conditions.

Freeze all new bread after you buy it for at least a day or so. It will never grow mold after that.

Does the bread last to the use by date? If so, then there's no rip off here. They don't promise the bread will do anything good past that date. if it's molding before that date, then its an issue.
Also, during the great depression your bread wasn't wrapped in modern plastics nor was it made from high fructose corn syrup. It also was not filled with preservatives. The bread you used to get then doesn't even exist anymore.
