I don't think this is applicable to all types of bread. There are bread shops where you can get good-tasting breads even if it's more than 6 hours or a day after it has been baked. Also, bakers know which bread needs to be consumed after some time that's why there are
expiry dates or
best before dates on the plastic or container of breads. Ingredients used for commercial breads are also carefully chosen so as not to spoil the products easily.
