This review pertains ONLY to the purchase of Irish soda bread at the Stop & Shop in Franklin Lakes,, NJ. On Friday, 2/24/23, my wife & I went to this store & we purchased, among other items, a loaf of Irish soda bread. We took the groceries home and we decided to try the bread along with our dinner. Most places we have purchased this item in before, the bread was pre-sliced. This loaf was not sliced. We went to cut the bread & it completely fell apart. We could not cut the bread into slices. It crumbled into small pieces. To add insult to injury, the bread was stale. This despite the fact that the label indicated it could be sold until 3/3/23. I had bought things at this store for years, any time I'm in the area, but if this is how they sell their baked goods, I'll drive a bit further and go to Shoprite in either Oakland or Wyckoff. They know how to make Irish soda bread that does not crumble at your touch. They also slice the bread for their customers. Just saying.
