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?

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.
