I wouldn't worry about the maltitol in bread. It must be a tiny amount.
it's a gimmick so they can say no sugar added, most likely. Maltitol still provides at least 2-3 calories compared to sugar and is pretty high in the GI scale. Plus, it's not as sweet as sugar so you actually have to use more of it. But, it takes more than a gram or two to gas you up.
It's key feature seems to be that it's not sugar, so they can say "sugar free" or "no added sugar."
I wouldn't buy the bread simply because it's weird to put it in there. It's seems like a sign of cost cutting or gimmickry, like using a drop of HFCS instead of a pinch of sugar.
