i know bread can become mouldy fast, but how many days can you keep it roughly for, after the best before date? the store 'sell by' or 'display until' is usually labelled as 2 or 3 days before the 'best before' on any loaf of bread. i am wondering how long you can keep bread for even after this, if the bread still tastes fine with no obvious mould/bacteria growth? its a 'best before' date found labelled on all bread, and not a 'use by' date, found on more perishable potentially more dsangerous products such as meat and dairy
im sure eating foods long after the best before date could prob give you a dodgy stomach, but nothing on the level of anything eaten after a use by date...
can i keep bread up to around a week after the best before? should i only discard it when it tastes odd and/or visibly starts to gain a mind of its own? thanks for any info, bread experts! :D
