So what's the deal with bread in supermarkets?

I've watched the "safety at all costs" mentality creep up on us over the course of my entire life...to the point that every little kid has to be constantly slathered in Purel goop and there are warning signs all over everywhere about everything - particularly when it comes to matters of food.

So, I ask you: how is it that "fresh" bread is still able to be put out in supermarkets in bags that are open at the top?

I know I give them a little rub as I walk past them, just checking to see if they're warm and crusty, not that I plan on buying them.

I like to bury my face in them and take a big whiff and then continue my shopping.

Are they in the deli? Maybe they were baked earlier that day.

I like to take a little nibble out of the end and then flip the loaf around in the bag. Once, I flipped it and the other end was nibbled off. I almost threw up.

Baked fresh, or let's say pre made dough baked in house to bread made at a factory and sealed to preserve freshness and shelf life.

Honestly, it's the impulse item baskets that get me in places like Albertsons for instance. Fresh baked goods should be placed in a case like they do at WF and bakeries for the most part, and cut to order, or taken home whole to portion up at your house.
