∙ 15y agoSince molds are living organisms, a moist, temperate climate is usually best suited to their growth. Putting bread in the refrigerator will slow down the process considerably, but won't stop it altogether. High temperatures will have the same negative growth effect on the mold. That is why most foods are either frozen before we get them or cooked, which sterilizes them. Breads made in factories have preservatives added to slow down the growth of live mold cultures that are already present in the loaf. These methods reduce the growth formation of mold to some extent.
