It might just be me but has commercial bread got worse?

I remember getting Kingsmill and Hovis a few years ago but for the past 1/2 years I have always bought the fresh bread from supermarket bakery, (organic if available) and it tastes 10x better but costs the same/10p more.

Its not that I never had fresh bread before that, I still did but not as often but since the bread made by Kingsmill started tasting like soap, I have switched to fresh bread.

The point I am trying to make is that why does the instore bakery taste so much better than Kingsmill/Hovis.

well clearly commercial bread has gotten better if you think it tastes so nice.

Some supermarkets get in frozen bread that is part baked and just bake it off

But as a former scratch baker for sainsburys TTD Multiseed / Tiger Bread is epic ofc depends where you go.

Yes thank you, Sainsbury's bread is epic.
