Smells funny. Tastes funny. Looks plastic. Does not melt well!

I have been buying this cheese for years and use it for everything. This time the cheese would get stuck in your throat after it melted in the grits. It is thick, gooey and stringy and you have to wipe the cheese off your mouth after every bite. I threw this bag away from the fear of my grandkids getting choked on it. What happened to it?

I've been buying this cheese for YEARS and loved it without any issues. However, the last two times I've bought it it has smelled and tasted rancid within a week of opening the bag. I've always opened these bags and used them for months without any weird smells or taste or signs of mold. These were well within the best if used by date and were not stored any differently than they ever have been. At first I wondered if something might be wrong with my fridge...but nothing seems amiss and nothing else is going bad like this. It's just this cheese. I bought shredded mozzerella at the same time I bought the first pack of shredded cheddar and it is still fine, a couple of months later. I guess I won't be buying Sam's shredded cheddar anymore. Wasted too much money on two five pound bags of cheese to maybe have used 1 lb total from both bags combined before I had to toss them. The first time I owed up to bad luck, but when it happened twice in a row? Steer clear. Seems like something is off with the batch or quality control.

I don't know if this cheese is heavier in potato starch ( to keep it from melding) or if it's the ingredients. Hard pressed to get any flavor out of it. Raw, melted or topped on tacos or casseroles..adds VERY little cheese flavor.

This product has definetly changed in quality in the last 6 months. The cheese doesn't even taste like cheese and the color is almost orange looking. Very disappointed 😞

I bought and a week later I opened to make tuna casserole the cheese was moldy. Won't buy again.

Love this cheese. Why did you quit carrying it?☹️
