The one I bake does, just like back in the days when I made my very first one.

Processed food is full of preservative shit to prevent it to spoil too quickly. Stay away from it.

No, all my food is covered with mold.

There's a food industry term called 'active water' which represents the moisture content of a food. High active water foods can grow bacteria and mold very easily as the microbes have a near ideal wet environment in which to grow. Low active water foods do not bring enough moisture to have microbes thrive and the food desiccates rather than spoils when left out. This is why McDonald's hamburgers don't grow mold when left out. They simply have too little water content to support microbial life and turn into mummified rocks instead.

As for store bought bread, it is generally low active water but storage conditions matter. Bread is hydrophilic and will draw humidity from the air so high humidity environments will lead to rapid mold growth. Additionally, the mold spores originate at the food processing facility so your bread is already contaminated from the start. I would suspect that store bought bread isn't molding because the adulterated formulae that are industrial bread products have created less ideal conditions and differences in pH and other factors end up inhibiting mold growth.

Sure there could be nefarious acts behind this, but without actual research and analysis your observations are merely anecdotal just as my speculative probable causes are. My mother-in-law continues to buy store bought bread and I have thrown out many a loaf in recent months because she often forgets to properly close the bag after use. All of the types of bread she buys are molding so my experience is different from yours but doesn't prove or negate anything. Sample size of two is just bad statistical rigor. More work needs to be done to determine what may be going on here.

We noticed that (and other things) a while back. My wife bakes all of our bread using caputo flour imported from Italy (doesn't have glyphosate, properly milled etc). If it is just left on the counter, it might last for 2 days. If you put it in the fridge, it can last at least 4 days (we have never had any sit around longer because we eat it all).

The other things that real bread made from real flour doesn't do is destroy your gut lining and make you put on weight. It has actual nutrition, you feel full and satiated after eating a little bit of it and you just feel happy after eating it. It is like being in the 70s.

Carnivore Bread: 12 eggs 8 oz cream cheese 5 oz pork rinds (crushed) 1 stick unsalted butter (melted) Tsp Baking Soda Tsp Baking Powder

Blender ingredients Pour into parchment lined loaf pan Bake at 360 for an hour Cool on a rack Store in refrigerator (cause this high protein, medium fat, low carb cow/pig/chicken Chadly loaf WILL mold)

yeah, the cheap hot dog buns dont mold at all.

Store bread is processed food. It's full of chemicals. Bake your own bread with unbromated flour. It's not hard. Also, cut back on bread. The carbs are not great for you.

My bread molds, and when I'm too lazy to make a loaf the store bought stuff will too because my kids grab it with gross or wet hands.

I've been mentioning that to people I know. I noticed store-bought bread stopped molding about 2 years ago. I eat a lot of sandwiches. I don't always have time to make homemade bread. I first noticed whenever I had a loaf of bread sitting in the cabinet for almost 2 weeks. It occurred to me there was no mold on it. Out of curiosity I left it there for 2 months. Bread is not stale, the bread is not moldy, it appears and smells just like it would the day I bought it. They are most definitely putting something in the bread to prevent it from molding.

Around the same time most grocery stores started using something called apeel(unsure of spelling) on fruit. Had some apples in the fridge that won't rot. Don't trust any food you don't grow and process yourself.

Our store bought wheat bread is good for a week, The bakery bought sourdough will not mold but will become as hard as wood in two days, we will then use it as bread crumbs, panzanella salad, meat loaf, etc. We freeze or english muffins, way cheaper to buy too many at costco, and after freezing they will keep much longer than that first pack we don't freeze. It has a lot to do how much water. Where, we live in a normally dry area, 30 humidity or less. On the rare humid days every thing seems to go moldy fast.

I couldn't tell you, I keep my bread in the refrigerator to inhibit mold. It lasts for weeks if kept refrigerated.
