So ACCC rules coles advertised their bread "baked instore today, sold instore today" is misleading cos they partially bake bread then freeze it in another location for up to 6 months. in the shop they will finish the baking process.
so for the past year if I bought bread at coles (I can show receipts) can I get a refund even though I ate the bread? is that anything I'm entitled to?
Oh…crap!!! I'll just go on a starvation diet,are u happy now! :P
It's easy to bake without non-stick surfaces. I bake twice a week and save a fortune and also don't poison myself in the process, nor give my money to millionaires who poison the planet and whose only goal is money with no regard for the farmers they put out of business driving them to the bone in very one-sided contracts with very little regard for the consequences both to the farmers and the food we eat. http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/content/2008/20080901_woolies…

Real wholemeal bread is delicious as opposed to the crap they mix in with 'wholemeal' bread at the supermarket (nearly always mixed with white flour and heaps of additives) which tastes absolutely awful, so it's no wonder people are eating white rubbish fluff bread. Fluff White is just slightly better in nutritional value than fairy floss. Diabetes ahoy.

It's a protective coating on the tray, not an ingredient in your bread. If soft tongs are used, it shouldn't make any difference.
Using your logic, bottled water is bad for you because plastic is not good for you to eat.

Precisely. You don't want to get me started on plastics, do you? Suffice to say, there's more than BPA you should be avoiding. Plastic leeches into your food and drink. With many serious health effects. Those with interest can investigate further.
Did you get all your plastic expert knowledge from random blogs and stuff, or did you actually study/read scientific papers on polymers?

Oh yes. I'm sure some benevolent industry papers are going to guide my way. Some benevolent "we care for you" organisation will put up the funds (lots of funds) to do all the long-term tests and tell me - for free - what is good for me. While having no vested interests in doing so. All the while all the big corps buy our politicians.
Yes, we'll get the right answers there. Science will cut through all the BS. FYI: I read constant conspiracy blogs with zero scientific basis. I'm sure that's the answer you wanted to hear. Science will cut through all the BS. And who is paying for all the science? Who is paying for the 'results'?
PS. I stopped drinking out of plastic over 20 years ago, well before all this plastic BPA stuff came out. It simply changed the taste of drink, which was bad enough for me. Yet we finally start hearing more and more about the toxins in plastic leeching into our foods today. If we actually seek that info, that is. I don't buy any fizzy drinks in a can either. You can do it if you want. Can. Oh I am funny.
Errr Im not talking about papers funded by companies like Swise who are absolutely biased. Im talking about research papers from university academics whose reports are non biased. Journals from sources like http://www.sciencedirect.com/
If industry funded papers (like Swise) are the only papers you heard about, you got more to look up on.
Academia is not necessarily some beacon of impartiality immune to outside influence. I've bookmarked that link to look at it later.
who cares? still better than woolies bread!
Anyone read the ingredients on supermarket bread? If the price isn't enough to get you to bake your own then I think avoiding all the junk sure should be. Preferably baked in a tray that doesn't use non-stick surface coatings (read up about their effects on your health). Then read up about white flour…
