Why is it that all loaves of regular sliced bread (we get Warburtons) are so short date nowadays?

On delivery from any of the supermarkets, it’s usually next day best before, and green within 4-5 days. I don’t remember this being the case in the past… Now I keep it in the freezer and just defrost as needed.

It’s kept where it’s always been kept (cool dark, dry place in kitchen)

Brighton supermarkets aren't very good when it comes to long life bread. Hovis though.

I had some running shoes made of artisan baguette once but I had to get rid of them as my feet were in tremendous pain.

Kingsmill from Farmfoods usually have a week or so sell-by date, and Tesco own brand super seeded usually has 4 or 5 days if you look at the back of the shelf.

Honestly don’t understand why more people don’t make their own. Loads of recipes that don’t require kneading so 5 minutes 1 day mixing ingredients. 5 minutes next day to whack it in the oven. 40 minutes later it’s done. Saves a fortune and means you don’t have to eat the processed crap that passes for bread in shops.

Perhaps they don't knead it longer.

been a while since brought bread loaf but bread-like product its usually got 4-5 days if i sift through to the back. you're getting online deliveries you'll be getting whatevers at the front, so today/tomorrow will be the date.
