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?
