So every time we get bread it comes in a stretchy bag. However, once we pull it out of the freezer later the bag is noticeably more crinkly and brittle. Anyone know why this is? I can’t seem to find an answer to this phenomenon anywhere.

    A lot of packaged bread you get at grocery stores probably arrived at the store already frozen. They thaw them out before throwing on the shelf.

    I’ve picked up bags at ALDIs that were still frozen.

    Same is true of meats.

    Unless your store always buys local, fresh foods there’s a chance it was frozen on its trip to the store.
