Got sick off this product
I purchased this item in March and didn't open it until several months later (after I ran out of my other spiralina). After I drank the first glass (which I mixed in pure water) I started to sweat profusely, my stomache was aching, and I felt super ill. There was nothing else I had eaten during that time period and I had to lay down for a couple hours sick and woke up feeling low on energy. The product is from China (which I had no idea otherwise would not have purchased this prodcut), and they don't have clean regulations on food there or proper inspections. I ordered it because it said 'organic' and I wanted clean food. It was the worst spiralina I ever tried, and didn't even taste rich like real spiralina. Sorry, this company has some other good products, so I have nothing against them. I just feel Startwest needs to take this product off the shelf. I can't even return it now because it's been over 30 days. I am writing this reveiw to both inform the public and hopes that Starwest will remove this product from the shelf. I had to throw it away in a plastic bag to ensure it's surely tainted contents would not leak into the ground. At least that is how I feel. I have no way to prove what's in it. Just made me sick.
