I buy this all the time. My recent bottle tastes wretched, almost toxic. Anyone else with a recent purchase have this experience?

I purchased a bottle in December of 2013. The label reads "Stevia extract - Stevia rebaudiana (leaf) supplying steviosides" and "Other ingredients: None." It's the best tasting product out of the 12 brands that I recently tried.

We have not had any problems with this product. I would contact the seller to see about sending it back and let them know about your experience this time.

it's a food product made in China. That's probably your answer right there. Who knows what's really in it.

That's because this Kal Stevia is a "Product of China".....small label on side of my bottle. I got a refund because it didn't state that in the discription of this product. I called the co. and they said the product is tested (sure!)......I don't trust anything coming from China because of the History of their Toxic products.

I just posted on this. There was a posting a few months back that the product was now being made in China and the taste was unpleasantly different. I do not think this was true of my batch, but I was influenced by the comments of others. Look into those early 2013 comments if you feel the need, but if you are not happy with the taste nothing anyone says will make a difference. I would suggest you look around for something else but stay in the Stevia family.

Something must be wrong with it, I've never had any bad tastes with any of the bottles that I've purchased.Maybe contact seller about a replacement.

YES! Mine smells like moth balls/ pesticide. I too have been buying this for years and this batch was toxic. Potentially dangerous.

I am on my first bottle and I found the taste by itself to be absolutely repulsive. I mix it with homemade lemonade (w/stevia) or grapefruit water or even chocolate milk. The Mg changes the flavor a little but at least they make it drinkable.

I just checked mine, I've had it since August anc my bottle is fine I'm sorry to hear of your issues.

I've had 2 batches that had the terrible smell. The first I poured out thinking it had gone bad. Then I read somewhere that sometimes racking it repeatedly and getting more oxygen into it makes the smell go away. I tried that the second time it happened to me and the smell disappeared. Not sure what will happen now that it's bottled.

No, my 3 bottles haven't smelt bad at all after taking the top plastic cover off, but my friend said her 'Mega' brand krill does smell bad, is this the one you have. Otherwise I'd return it for a better batch.

Not that I see. Just began this new bottle today. But brought from amazon before, just not sure if it was same seller. I have not had that problem, and I have been buying this from amazon for years.

Well I bought a bottle and took it to my friend who buys directly from doterra... Well hers smelled a lot stronger than mine. The consistency felt off as well. I do not recommend buying from here.

Of course you wouldn't buy their product past the expiration date! Why would they tell you to do that? They wouldn't. No manufacturer would. I just got a new bottle here on Amazon in the mail today and it says "best by 11/16" so they are very fresh. Got mine shipped from and sold by Amazon, so no third party. Why would anyone buy ANYTHING that's expired???

Yes me too, I wrote a review about it. The taste is terrible also. I had been buying from Amazon though so I am not sure why it is suddenly different.

It's horribly bitter. I have accidentally gotten it in my mouth a few time, so YUCK! But that is the point, so it's good. :)

My previous bottle was good. But the recent one-Now Foods Jojoba oil smells like fish oil. I couldnt bear it ! I discarded it...

I've never experienced that before! :-o That sounds disgusting! I've ordered it online and bought it from Traders here in CO and fortunately did not have that experience! So sorry, AG!!

I LOVE the old raspberry- the 'new and improved' flavor is awful. It is way too sweet and now has a sweetner wang to it I camnot stand. I think their test market must have been a bunch of 12 year olds. I have given it to several friends to try and no one so far has liked it. Please write to Alacer to tell them how you feel!

I think it taste horrible too! I either dissolve it in warm water and drink it fast or I mix it with a little orange juice. The orange is the best way to go to get rid of most of the horrible taste. Good luck!

I'm in the same boat. I've been using for 3 weeks now and NOTHING! Even with Roc that I bought from Walmart I started to feel/see changes in my skin by this time. Giving it till the end of the bottle until I post my review. :-/

I can't say that I've ever had that problem! ;) But if I did, I would probably pour it back into the bottle that it came in. Or just burn it up! It isn't like that would take long.
