Where is the expiration date of bread labeled?
The bread that I purchase at the supermarket (in Australia) usually has a small squarish plastic tag, (that keeps the open end of the bag airtight/closed) printed on the plastic tag is a date, which either gives you a best before/ use by date (expiry) or when the bread was baked date.Some tags are also colour coded, these variations in colour will tell you (if you have or know the key) the day that the bread was baked/bagged as well as have printed on them the best before /use by date.My brother in law and his wife (my sister) own two “Baker’s Delight” franchises in Adelaide, South Australia. They do not have an expiry date on their baked breads or goods, but, they bake fresh every morning, that day’s production. Then their bakers go home for some well earned rest. Their day’s production that is not sold on that day is never sold. It is either organised with a local charity or a farmer to come for the leftover after the close of business, or, it is destroyed. This ensures that the entire range of everyday’s goods are fresh that day. This would be the reason “Baker’s Delight” products don’t have an expiry date printed on their wares.That said I have noticed that other commercial bakeries have the expiry date printed on their plastic bag itself, near the bag’s open end, usually, but not always, some have a date stamped on the bag nearest their logo, mostly though there is the plastic tag holding the bag closed that bears the expiry date, best before date or the baked on date.These use by/expiry date/baked on dates are a recommendation, a guideline. Bread is actually better for you/your digestion the day after it is baked, fresh bread, while it is so nice to eat, will, if eaten regularly interfere with your regularity.Some people, perhaps seniors, will purchase their consumables once a week/fortnight to save themselves unnecessary trips to the store. They will freeze their bread, leaving out only what they need for that day/next morning, in this way they ensure that their bread is still edible until their next shop.Otherwise, the expiry dates are a guideline, your eyes and hands are a better guide as to whether the bread is edible or not.
Is wheat germ the same as nutritional yeast?
Nutritional yeast is yeast that has been allowed to proof (grow) and then it's deactivated. This results in a yeasty taste, but it won't do things like make bread dough rise. Wheat germ is the part of a kernel of wheat that contains the reproductive part of the seed (the part that sprouts when you plant a seed). They do provide similar nutrition, with wheat germ providing more vitamin E and the yeast providing mostly vitamin B.

Whole wheat bread that tastes good?
I have been learning about how bad white bread is for you, so I am thinking to switch to whole wheat. I've tasted it before (years ago I might add), and did not like it. That's why I've stuck to white bread. But I don't want to eat it anymore for it's lack of nutrition. Does anyone know any good brands, especially some without high fructose corn syrup?
