What are these greenish spots on the bread? I’m scared to eat it, let alone let my kids eat it. My mother-in-law says it’s safe and that I shouldn’t throw it away

Mold is different—any green/black spots mean toss the whole loaf. Bread is porous, so mold threads can spread invisibly and may carry mycotoxins.

Store smart: keep bread at room temp in a paper bag for short-term use, freeze for longer storage, and skip the fridge (it speeds staling). Know the difference and you’ll waste less while staying safe.
