Did anyone notice a strong chemical taste on first use of this product?

I haven't used mine yet, but I will say that that's pretty common among water bottles on their first use. I'd recommend washing it first. If you really are against it, hydroflasks are pretty great and didn't have an after taste when I used them.

It was not on the first use, however, after a few sessions now I notice a strong chemical taste.

The first couple of times that I used mine, it had a strong smell of burning plastic as well. It has definitely faded over time though.

Mine just came and it has a horrendous chemical smell. Will update in a week or two and let you know if it persists.

Not really no. There was a small smell when you first opened the box from the packaging but it wasn't very strong and was gone very very quickly.

It has a strong chemical smell... I poured them in a container i have a lot of bands in and left the lid off awhile and it got a little better but when i first opened the package it was a very strong smell

I have only used this one once, and I did not like the scent. As to whether it was strong odor, I don't recall. Sorry if this is not too helpful!

I liked this salt at first but don't use it any more. It has a bit of a strong, not the right word, maybe a slight chemical taste ? Not sure what the taste is but I have changed to sea salt, it tastes better. Hope that helps a little.........

We have never noticed a plastic taste on our food even from the first day using it. We have had a problem getting the broccoli smell off of the steamer once we cooked broccoli in it even washed in the dishwasher but not really an issue.

Are you shaking the bottle beforehand? Other than that, sounds normal to me. It has a very runny consistency.

No. I have a strong sense of taste and did not detect these tastes. Of course, the unit was seasoned with several pots before having a drinkable one.

Yes, when opening there was a chemical odor. I let it sit out for a few days (7 days) and it was gone. Never smelled again.

None that I've noticed, by taste or smell. I fill it directly from my electric kettle as soon as it boils.

I can't say that mine had that kind of an odor to it when it arrived but it did have somewhat of a chemical smell that lingered for a day or so but went away rather quickly. I assumed it may have been from being stored in some place with some type of chemical. But mine didn't have that strong of an smell, just a kind of harsh new processed plastic chemical smell, if you know what I mean. And like I said, it faded away within a day or so. Sorry, that's probably not much help... :(

I have a sensitive nose. I did not notice a strong chemical smell even when the product was new. Now I stuck my nose right on it and gave a good sniff. There is a faint odor of neoprene or the like but not smell able from one foot away. I bought this product a bit ago and worry that the manufacturer changed suppliers for its raw materials since then so I am reluctant to reassure you.

I do notice a minor fishy smell and perhaps a little change in the taste of my smoothies but really not much. Did you refrigerate after you opened it? I have a small jar I took to work that was not refrigerated and it did get fishier smelling. But still not that bad. I think a little taste, smell and color just comes with the product. This is still by fat the best spiulina product I've ever used and iI have been feeling marvelous!

So sorry. I haven't a clue. But I was very pleased with the permasoft (and still am). Apparently a lot of folks are offput by the "chemical" taste. Yes, it's there--for about 10 minutes. After that it does not linger at all.

I don't think it's chemical. I can't remember the smell in the beginning but I don't smell anything now.
