Has anyone noticed a change in them recently? within the last 4 months.

I feed the Purina mills. grain ration alfalfa pellets. They used to smell different better, and were lighter in color.

It just smells more chemically pungent. not moldy. or off. just this new aroma to them. and i don't like it. it smells more chemical. And its not bad, just different in the smell and darker in color.

This isn't just one bag. its all the new bags. i returned the first two. got another two. and then everytime after that about 9 bags....

anyone else notice this? or know if they changed the ingredients?

Jojo,

Why don't you contact Purina directly? They have a website; Google 'Purina'. Leilani

Yeah...that was my next step. just didn't want' to come off as "i'm the only one, huh?" as i did with my feed store. But they wouldn't admit to returns even if there were some.

i know i'm the big nose and i teach everyone around me about smells. and i'm a big returner of "off" feedstuffs like the BOSS etc...

so again, Does anyone use it? and did anyone feel it was different?
