I don't know if this is the case in other countries, but in the USA the color of the ties on the bread bags indicate which day it was baked. Write this down and carry it in your purse so you will always know:Monday--Blue
Tuesday--Green
Thursday--Red
Friday--White
Saturday--Yello

I have this wrote down and I think it's great. I always look at the ties on my bread when I buy it.

Oh this sounds like a wonderful idea. My husband use to bake his own bread, with a bread machine I must add, but since he was diagnosed with diabetes he had to stop eating bread altogether. The only bread he is allowed now is rye and he detest it.

I bake bread for my husband and he loves it. I don't know what he would do if he had to stop. Rye bread is good if you make a vegetarian Rueben out of it.

It sure is. A lot of people don't know about it.

In the Philippines we only have the expiration date indicated on the package. From what I observed with the regular sandwich bread that I buy from the supermarket, they allot about 7 days shelf life. I make sure that I get it on the first or second day. Otherwise, I won't buy because I don't like the taste and the texture of the bread when it is already older than 2 days.

Where I live they sometimes allow for up to 2 weeks for a stale date.

I had no idea that they color coded the bread dates. Thanks for sharing the information. I wrote it down and put it with my coupons.

I think it is ok to print the date of production.
In china,there is no this kind of color to show date.
But if they do that, will be better.
