Hey guys,

I bought my first whey protein "bottle" (english is not my native language, I don't know the right word), it's from Ultimate Nutrition (Whey Supreme 907g) and when I opened it it smelled like fish food... Is this normal or what? I bought the strawberry flavour one but I don't think even by mixing this with water it will taste good... I'm afraid to taste this...

Is this smell normal?

    You might have a spoiled container, something smells fishy there! I'd take it back to the store and ask for a trade, and if the second also smells bad then maybe avoid that brand?

    well, obviously theres something wrong with it, if it's strawberry flavour, its supposed to smell like strawberries not fish food Cheesy I suggest you to take it back to the store and ask what's wrong or ask to give you a new one, which i highly doubt will happen Cheesy

    Rotten milk also smells like fish food.

    Either you have an expired container or it was inappropriately handled by someone before you.

    Do not ingest

    I used iso mass gainer once. had to choke down a whole tub that smelled (and tasted) like fish food. sure enough it contained protein and fish oil from herring, anchovy,mackerel, and salmon. check the label sometimes fish oil added to proteins can give it a fishy smell and mean its fine. if its just whey though see if its processed in the same place that produces fish oils (could also cause smell). I wouldn't be so quick to throw out good protein!
