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.

Does bread in a freeze affect the texture?

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.

Not in the US.

I can assure you it reaches the store warm, every morning. Local is mostly better

Happens in Aldi here in the US.

I suppose we're talking about widely varying things. Here in Europe I think they have both pre-packaged bread and sandwich, which I suppose comes on the same truck as the other stuff. And sth like a Deli section with bread and small pizzas and stuff. That probably comes as frozen/refrigerated dough and is baked there. I'm not really sure if they do it like that at Aldi, but they do that in other stores. And I mean Aldi is just one supermarket chain.

They said not in the US, ¯_(ツ)_/¯
