Schmidt Italian Bread - 20oz

I am deeply disappointed with the quality of this bread purchased from Target on [date of purchase] at approximately 8:00 PM. Less than 24 hours after purchase, I discovered visible mold on multiple slices of the loaf. This is not only unsatisfactory but also poses a health risk to consumers, especially considering that bread is a staple food expected to have a reasonable shelf life. It is concerning that a product intended for immediate consumption would exhibit signs of spoilage so quickly after purchase. This raises questions about the storage, handling, and quality assurance practices in place at Target and the supplier’s facility. Mold on bread is a clear indication of improper storage or an inadequate quality control process. I expect Target to address this matter promptly, as selling spoiled food items undermines consumer trust. I would appreciate a refund or replacement for this purchase and assurance that steps will be taken to prevent future incidents.
