What is that awful chemical taste?

Take it back. Even if it's not formaldehyde, if it tastes bad, it tastes bad. If it tastes bad, don't eat it.

The chemical you are thinking of is probably formaldehyde. I would take the bread back to the store and tell them it tasted bad. Maybe it got contaminated in the processing. It should not taste that way at all. I wonder if it could be something in the environment at your house? Hope you do not get sick from it.

I prefer to bake my own bread because of the preservatives that are included in ready to eat bread. Home made bread will begin to get dry after about 2 days, while bread from a store will keep quite well for up to 2 weeks or until it begins to spoil. I object to these additives, and wonder what they do to the human consumer? Scary isn't it?

I hope what you are tasting is not formaldehyde. Ugh! But it is definitely some kind of chemical to help preserve the bread. I don't buy any Kraft products because their is a nasty after taste. I haven't tasted the chemical in the bread and hope I don't. I do like my bread and rolls and such.

Oh, yuck. I haven't tried white wheat bread, but that doesn't sound appetizing at all. I wonder if there is something wrong with the batch that bread came from. Maybe you should contact the manufacturer and let them know about that awful aftertaste. I guess it's possible that an ingredient could cause it, but if you've had the same bread in the past I think there's probably something off about it. The store might refund the price if you bring it back to where you bought it.

You should stop eating it right now! Bread shouldn't taste of chemicals, you should go to the store and get your money back or atleast a new bread!

Hard to say what the taste was. It was probably from some part of the processing of the bread they over did it on something. Sadly though it says all natural many chemicals are naturally occurring but it's when they add it to things that they don't naturally occur in is when it can be a problem.

Well there's a numerous amount of things in cheaper breads that make it taste bad such as bleached flour, high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils,mono and diglycerides,and any other perservatives they may use. I can't really eat too much processed food because after avoiding it for so long now when I eat it I'm really sensitive to it and I end up feeling badly soon afterwards. My advice would be to read the ingredients list on the bread you're buying and if you can't identify something in the ingredients don't buy it.

I know what you mean. That taste is there because the bread is starting to go bad. I would return the bread to the store and get my money back if I were you.

Hi there. I had pretty much the same experience but it was the bunch of meat pies that I bought from a bakery that I have always gone to for my breads and pastries. I was so disappointed to have that after taste of the meat it self and it tasted like it was old and and so bitter. I didn't have a choice but to just throw the food away since I wasn't able to return it back that day. Those meat pies were supposed to be for my dinner and since I bought them a few minutes before the bakery closed, I didn't have the chance to complain about it and return them for a whole new bunch or at least get a refund. If you can still return those bread, do it soon rather than suffer an upset stomach for eating them and not getting your money's worth.

I've never tasted that before. We used to buy white bread all the time and I'd eat it with just butter and never noticed any weird after taste. I don't really know what the chemical is, but I don't think it's normal for bread to taste that way though.
