You always have to check for molds regardless of the expiration date because if you put is somewhere humid hot or uncovered it would probably grow mold way faster

Mold can grow before the best by date…or on it…or after it. OR, you can have bread that is a week past its best by date without any mold growing. The best by date is just assuming optimum conditions.

Random thing I can weigh in on. I happen to have hyperosmia (super heightened sense of smell). I can smell mold long before you can see it. Bread is usually already growing mold when you buy it.

It is the best before, meaning it should last until a bit after that date

Are you not checking for mold before the date?

Expiration date doesn't mark the death of food. They mark the death of our trust
