eli5, how does cheese bread not go bad??

Question

If you leave cheese at room temperature for too long it will go bad. But why can they leave bread baked with cheese in or on top of it tosit on the shelf at the store for days and it’s still fine to eat?

Answer 1

Raw cheese still has active cultures in it, whereas cheese bread (which will eventually go moldy) has been baked, and the cultures are no longer active.
