Thanks Guys. Yes Bob, this is what i was worried off. if it had gone rancid or something. i think it may as it was not stored in a refrigerator. I dont suppose i could really return it now as i have been taking it for a few days now, not knowing it shouldnt have tasted this way. it is definitely more than a 'roasted' taste. it is almost chemically tasting.
geeze i just wish we had a health food store in my town that actually refrigerated their oils.
Thanks for your help
Scott
