Bread still good after 2 months??

Is my bread still safe to eat after 2 months?
I’ve had a loaf of raisin bread and a loaf of rye bread sitting on my counter since January and they still haven’t gone moldy. But now, even though I can’t see any mold, I’m starting to wonder if I should eat them. 😂 I was thinking of using them for French toast or wifesavers, but I’m not sure. Any thoughts?

*On a related note, I recently came across a post where someone mentioned that bread is now staying fresh for months, while their potatoes are spoiling much faster than before—totally the opposite of what used to happen! I’ve noticed this too! Just the other day, I made homemade French fries from some potatoes that looked perfectly fine, but they had a really weird chemical smell and taste, and I ended up having to throw them out! What’s going on, everyone?

    It’s definitely a bit of a gamble when it comes to old bread! While some types of bread can last a while without mold due to preservatives, it’s important to check for any off smells or changes in texture. If your raisin and rye bread don’t have visible mold and smell okay, you might be able to use them for French toast or wifesavers, but trust your instincts—if it feels “off,” it’s better to be safe and toss it.

    As for the potatoes, it sounds like you might be encountering the effects of how they’re stored or perhaps even changes in how they’re treated during processing. Sometimes, potatoes can develop an unusual smell if they’re starting to go bad, even if they don’t show it visually. I’d recommend checking for any sprouting or green spots, which indicate they may not be safe to eat.

    It’s interesting to see how our food preservation methods seem to be changing! Just be cautious, and when in doubt, throw it out!
