Bought 11 of these 2-lb jars since April of 2012. They tasted great (if you're used to how rice powders taste--sort of a semi-sweet grainy taste with a gritty texture).But, the last 4 jars smelled terrible. When I open the first of the last 4, I could smell a sharp rancid odor, the same kind of smell you get when you have cooking oil or corn tortilla chips that sat around for 2 years past their expiration date.I opened the other 3 jars, and they had the same rancid odor. I tried letting the jar breathe, but the smell didn't go away. I tried mixing them in water and drinking them, but the smell didn't go away.My hypothesis is that these products were shipped to me during the peak of Summer, and the high temperatures inside the trucks for several days affected the product:(1) the heat caused the rice powder to go rancidOR(2) the heat caused the HDPE container to leach out a plastic odor that resembled the odor of rancid oils (sort of like having water that's been sitting around in a hot container in the sun for a while, and when you drink it, it tastes like plastic).Now that the hot season is over, I'll order more and try again. I'll update on the next batch.--------------------UPDATE 1:Need to add that I stored the 4 jars in a dark & cool room of about 60-degrees Fahrenheit.Also, need to add that if my Hypothesis #2 is correct, it's still not acceptable to me. Though a plastic smell in food or water is not going to kill you, according to David Suzuki, we carry "several pounds of plastic and dozens of toxic molecules dissolved in our bodies..." (search David Suzuki)And, according to other scientists, we have kitchen plastics in our bodies (search How Plastic We've Become: Our Bodies Carry Residues of Kitchen Plastics)When I get a new batch, I'll test the 2nd hypothesis by placing the normal, non-rancid product in a box in the trunk of my car for 3 days:(A) 1 scoop powder in a glass jar (baby food jar)(B) 1 scoop powder in the original HDPE jarAfter 3 days in the sun, I'll report any changes to its odor compared to the controls. The controls will be 1 scoops in the same containers, but placed in a dark & cool room for the same duration as the test scoops.-----------------UPDATE 2:This product is NOT supposed to be sold in California, because it lacks the Prop 65 warning mandated by the State of California. Even though I live in California, Amazon has been selling this product to me.-----------------UPDATE 3 (2013 October 8):I haven't been able to conduct any tests because Amazon didn't ship any products to me for a long time. But, this past month, Amazon finally shipped it to me (I had it on Subscribe).Here's what I've noticed. The product content has changed, though the packaging and label are identical to before. It's different now in that the powder is now EXTREMELY fine, as opposed to coarse, and now I get a dust cloud every time I take a scoop. It sometimes makes me sneeze. Mixing it into the water is a lot easier now, but stirring the spoon releases another dust cloud.The product is now a bit bitter, and it tastes awful like metal or soap or something. It also foams up a lot, and I don't drink the foam.Given the huge changes, I wonder if the nutritional facts should be updated, because such a differently processed product along with the different flavor might be different nutritionally, especially in the amount of calcium, iron and other minerals and metals.
