Seeds & Grains Bread goes moldy before expiration date

wuestenkind1058 · 2023-03-15T16:48:22.273Z

I bought this bread on March 9, expiration date March 20, and as before, the bread starts to go moldy even before you open the pack! I have already returned packs, the comment from the customer service/info was: 'Yes, unfortunately that's just the way it is, it starts to sweat'. Last time we put the bread in the fridge after opening it. But this time it was still unopened! Why does Migros declare an expiration date that is not even possible for this bread? Are there others who have had the same problem?

This is not the bread from your link, but the 'Seeds & Grains' vegan bread, brand 'YOU', this bread has not been recalled.

Right - I noticed it afterwards - but I'm sure it's part of the same problem chain. So if it's moldy - be sure to bring it back (with reference to the other loaves). I'm sure it will be taken back.

Hello wuestenkind1058, I'm sorry that the bread went moldy prematurely. However, as you rightly write, this has nothing to do with the current recall. Basically, the product is a bread with a high moisture content and we have deliberately decided not to add any preservatives. We made this decision in favor of a particularly good taste. Unfortunately, natural ingredients also increase the susceptibility to mold infestation. The shelf life is achieved by pasteurization, in which the sliced bread is reheated in the packaging. Opening the pack removes this protection and the product must therefore be consumed quickly within 2-3 days. If it is still unopened, it should not go moldy within the specified shelf life. It may happen that the wrapper is damaged. In this case, consumption until the best-before date is not guaranteed. The store will give you your money back again. Best regards, Sina

Dear Sina, thank you for your comments. Now I'm wondering whether Migros would be better off shortening the best-before date on this bread or adding a note on the packaging about eating it quickly?

The problem with mold can also easily occur with toast. I have had very good experiences with keeping it in the fridge. Even large packs can keep for up to 14 days without any problems.

What M-Infoline is saying is nonsense. I've also experienced it in the dark with Happy Bread. It goes straight into the freezer at home because I buy for a week. I think they re-date unsold bread. You can sometimes tell that it's old bread (not always) because the edges have already dried out. It just tastes old. After defrosting it in the microwave, I discovered pea-sized spots of mold. It also smelled of it.

For breads of this type, I freeze them immediately after the sale. These breads are great for toasting, so there's no need to defrost them. I do the same with many fresh breads, cut into slices and then freeze.

Hello andim9, thank you for your comment. I'm sorry that you had such a negative experience with the Happy Bread dark. We will be happy to discuss your suspicions with our specialist department. Would you like to tell us where you bought the bread back then? Kind regards, Yann
