Full details
This New Living Bread Bag in Cream is designed for eco-conscious individuals looking to extend the freshness of their bread while reducing waste. Its key benefit is improved bread longevity compared to traditional linen bags, achieved through a food-safe, BPA-free TPU inner lining. A potential caveat is that it is primarily for everyday use and requires specific care to maintain its properties.

Troubleshooting
Bread still goes stale quickly
Ensure the drawstring is pulled very tight to create a good seal. Check that the bread was fully cooled before storing. The bag is best for short-to-medium term freshness, not for weeks of storage.
Bag has a slight odor
Hand wash the bag with mild soap and cool water, rinse thoroughly, and air dry completely. Ensure no crumbs are left inside.
Drawstring is stiff
Gently work the drawstring back and forth. If it persists, a very small amount of natural oil (like food-grade mineral oil) applied to the drawstring channel might help, but use sparingly.
