An American company has developed a technique that they say can make bread stay mould-free for 60 days.

The bread is zapped in a sophisticated microwave array which kills the spores that cause the problem.

The technique can also be used with a wide range of foods including fresh turkey and many fruits and vegetables.

World of waste

Food waste is a massive problem in most developed countries. In the US, figures released this year suggest that the average American family throws away 40% of the food they purchase - which adds up to $165bn (£102bn) annually.

Will the process stop the bread from getting hard as well?

No, there's a separate process for that which includes surrounding the bread with pictures from the PeopleOfWalmart website.

Nothing will ever get hard when looking at those nasty pics!

Seems to me this was tried many years ago with a slightly different method. The plan was to irradiate food and it would dramatically increase the shelf life without refrigeration.

That never really took off. I guess people didn't want to eat radiation.
