We've been feeding Albus and Luna Nutro MaxCat, wet and dry, for a couple years without any problem. My husband feeds them the wet food every night (we free feed the dry and they don't gorge themselves or anything.)
He opened a 3oz can of Chicken Supreme Entree and he said there was a "pop", like a champagne cork and the liquid sprayed out with a lot of pressure. He had the good sense to not feed it to them, and called me in to look at it. The can's not dented, and it wasn't bulging before he opened it. I bought it about 6 weeks ago (I buy about 2 months of wet food at a time) and except for spending a couple nights in my car (and it's December in Chicago, so it's been consistently cold outside), it hasn't been exposed to any weird temperature changes.
The food smells positively foul. One of the worst things I've smelled in my 31 years. One of those odors that gets stuck in your nose, unfortunately. It looks like a normal color, but the liquid doesn't quite look right- like there's the normal clear-ish part, but part of the liquid looks sorta cloudy. We opened another can of the same food, from the same lot number and it smells fine (as good as cat food normally smells, that is!)
The bottom of the can says "Best by 05-03-13 20 U" and "118EUNSC0104:44 NCS"
I sent an email to the company through their website with all this information, and we gave the cats one of the other flavors of food, but I'm pretty concerned about the food we have in the same flavor, from the same package. I have saved the can (in a sealed bag) and it is currently in the refrigerator.
Anything else I should do? Besides scrub my nostrils?
