Sample 1 - Mouldy Bread Problem

Andy bought a loaf of bread from his neighbourhood bakery, Yummy Bakes, but upon reaching home, discovered small dark green specks of mould on it. He goes back to Yummy to get a refund, but Yummy refuses, insisting the bread was freshly made.
Andy is now wondering what has caused the mould to grow, and what he can do about the situation.
