A popular post circulated online claims that you can determine which bread on the shelf is freshest simply by looking at the color of the twist tie on the packaging.
Color codes do exist, but they are not universal, and are used primarily for the purpose of stocking, not to indicate freshness.
First, let’s take a look at the claim being circulated online:
Ever wonder what the colors of the tie tags on loaves of bread represent? They’re a code designating the day of the week on which a loaf was baked:
Blue: Monday
Green: Tuesday
Red: Thursday
White: Friday
Yellow: Saturday
An easy way to remember it, though, is to simply recall the alphabet. The colors run in alphabetical order, so the earlier they appear in the alphabet, the earlier in the week the bread was baked. And it’s true. Even the ever-cynical Snopes backs it up.
