Title: No longer made/grown in Hawaii, smells weird and color is different
Review: I used Now Foods Spirulina during 2012 after using Nutrex Hawaii Pure Hawaiian Spirulina and found no real difference in taste.So end of DEC 2012 I bought 2 more bottles from Amazon and opened one up yesterday and found the smell to be very odd. It actually smells like "doggie treats"--no joke. Also the color is a much darker green than before.Luckily I had the old bottle so I did a little comparison and found the old bottle shows "Grown in Hawaii" on it and the new bottle does not say anything about where it was grown.Also the new bottle says "This natural product may have variations in color and odor." The old Grown in Hawaii bottle does not say this so Now Foods must know that the smell and color is quite different from before.I must say I didn't even eat any tablets because it just smells awful and the smell is really strong and persistent-- not like before when the smell was mild. Unfortunately these are going into the trash.
Is the review positive or negative?
