I ordered about the same quantity at about the same time last year and it also came in the smaller bags and had a rancid odor. We blend several foods and just left that out of that batch of blend. Instead we chose to feed it to the outside feral cats who mostly picked around it. We had a raccoon and a possum that were cleaning the outside bowl at night though so eventually it all got used. We have ordered the same food a couple of times since and it has been fine. Ken [Posted in FML 8076]
