So my wife was the one who brought it to my attention. Historically, if we left bread out on a counter for more than a few days, it would begin to mold pretty quickly. But in the past few years, every type of store bought bread simply doesn't seem to mold anymore. White and Wheat, hamburger and hot dog buns, whatever, it all doesn't seem to mold like it used to. My wife even did an experiment and left a package of Pepperidge Farms buns out on the counter for near a month: Nothing.

We now buy bread from the local delivery dairy from a place that cooks all bread and tortillas locally. Has anyone else noticed this issue with standard store bought baked goods?

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.

Just odd that is started like this in the past few years. Your not wrong, but the whole not-molding thing is a recent development

I don't know much about it since I only bake my own stuff.
