How long does
bread last?
Bread storage is mostly a quality and mold issue rather than one universal safety timer.
What to do
Keep dry and sealed; freeze for longer storage.
Do not take a chance
Discard the entire loaf when mold appears because roots can spread invisibly.
These times are guidance, not a guarantee. Initial freshness, preparation, packaging and actual temperature all matter. Never taste questionable food to test safety.
