I did notice it in one brand of store bought sliced whole wheat bread.
I guessed that it had to do with adjusting a recipe that had used sugar
to using corn syrup instead. I came to that conclusion because I tried
toasting it, and the problem wasn't solved. If it weren't baked enough,
toasting it would have done the trick. If the ingredient mix was off,
that would explain it.
