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?

I have noticed that. I have some English muffins from last October that have not been refrigerated and look like they did when I brought them home. Worse...I have a pack of Mission flour tortillas that I bought back in 2020, and have kept them in a RV trailer since then, that look and feel brand new. I have been making my own tortillas with lard for about two years now, and they will mold after about three days.
