Bad smell, cats won't eat it

I was excited to see the larger bags. I run a private cat sanctuary, and this has been the staple food for 20 years. I have purchased a total of 9 bags from two different local clubs. 8 of the bags smelled "off" when I opened them, almost rancid. The cats would excitedly run up to the bowls, sniff, and walk away. In all of the years of using this product, that has NEVER happened. I had to add tuna mixed with water and sardines mixed with water to make a gravy to get the cats to eat it. I returned a bag and a half. Not sure what I am going to do now... A friend gave me 3 bags from her local walmart. Same smell and same issue. I checked the manufacturer's number printed on the back - same number. Another friend gave me three bags from the other major club - same manufacturer, same issue. Rancid. Not sure WHAT is going on with that particular factory location, if they changed the ingredients, or if it happened it transit or storage but something is OFF with this food. And yes, the kibble is different. Years ago the food smelled good when you opened the bags. Now, not so much. PS the kibble really should be smaller in general.

All Good with the new 29lb Cat Chow bags

The cats and I are happy with the 29lb bags. None of us detect a change in the size of the kibble. That said, most cats prefer smaller sized kibble.
