Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm so disappointed in the manufacturing change in this product! I had to stop using stevia very much last year, and had been very excited to try this product at that time. It was amazing! It had a bit of a fruity, brown sugary taste, with a pleasant smell. I tried both the regular and organic, and both were delicious. However, upon reordering last fall, I was so sad to try the new delivery. The only way to describe the smell and taste is that of burnt plastic. It burned my nostrils to smell the monk fruit when I opened it. After calling the company, they informed me they had a new manufacturer. I returned the organic and ordered the conventional. It was the same. Whether or not the sweetener could be harmful now doesn't matter. I can't even choke it down anymore. The smell and taste are that noxious. If the carrier ever finds a different manufacturer to make it as it was, I'll be first in line to purchase it. However, there's no way I'm wasting that much money on a product that is so deeply offensive in taste and smell.
