I just bought the Bragg this product and noticed a "smell" that seemed unpleasing. Does this have a cardboard kind of taste to it?

I would call the taste "cheesy". Pleasantly so. Maybe that is the smell you find off-putting. Love it on popcorn.

I don't find it at all cardboardy. I just went and opened my bottle and took a whiff. I can smell a bit of a vitamin B smell, which isn't always the most pleasant. I don't find the taste to be displeasing. I use it in a lot of soups and savoury dishes, and I like to sprinkle it over air popped popcorn.

Surprisingly, it does not. I just purchased this a few months ago. I wanted to try it because of the reviews about it giving a 'cheesy' taste to foods. I was also put off by the aroma it emitted. But, I was determined to try it. Am I ever so glad I did! This makes anything you need a cheesy flavor to taste cheesy! I love it! (just do not smell it while putting it into your recipe) after it incorporates, it is transformed! I bought a 3 pack. It is a wonderful product. I highly recommend this product.

Yeast tends to have a musty aroma. It is a little cardboardy in taste. Keep in mind that this product has good nutritional value, at least, I do. :D

It kind of smells like chemicals to me. It's a mild smell, almost like the whiff you get when you open a plastic toy container for the first time. It's not that off-putting to me, as the scent dissipates pretty rapidly after application.

I have been buying this product for about 6months now and it does have a little smell to it, but not overwhelming. If it's quite noticeable I would suggest sending it back. It shouldn't be super strong. I notice it when I have my nose close to the container, but otherwise its faint. Good luck!

Hard to describe, maybe a bit musty/grain like? When it was new it was quite strong, I put a few drops of mint essential oils to make it more refreshing. After a few months the odor is very faint and doesn't bother me.

I don't think it smells that bad, many others smell worse. But yeah, I think it is supposed to smell like a combination of fruits and vegetables + chemical substances. It might be slightly unpleasant, just try to take it during meals and not try to smell it. Or maybe check the color/expiration date, mine is a fresh blue-gray, if yours doesn't look like that, it might be a bad/expired product.

It has no smell whatever, it just doesn't taste very good. But even when I dissolve it in warm water (1 tsp each morning) it doesn't have a scent at all. I drink it down quickly, then follow it with a tasty chewable Vitamin C tablet, because their literature says that Vit C really boosts it. A nice combo and the Vit C chewable clears the palate.

I didn't detect a taste but it DOES have a lingering smell. I take mine in a glass and I can definitely smell a metallic scent, however no I do not actually taste it, just smell.

It's been a while but no, I do not remember any smell from this. I have a few other supps my shelf that smell horrible, but no, not this one. Does it have something from the sea? Usually that makes for a strong odor. Let me know if you notice a difference. I feel a lot better but tried so many supps & foods that I can't be sure of the reason I feel better. I am trying a new one now as even though I feel better I still have that creaking in my right knee. It doesn't hurt but that sound scares me.

I didn't notice a smell other than normal paper product smell. Which I consider mild/negligible/neutral. I stacked a bunch under the bathroom sink and the bathroom smells normal. With the cabinet door closed there hasn't been a build up of smell where the TP is stacked. I would consider this unscented with little out-gassing of chemical smells.

Mine does smell a little bit fishy but it's not a very strong smell. I do not chew mine up but swallow them whole.

I didn't notice any odors. It does come in plastic packaging that may have some odor at first.

I've been through several bottles since I started using it, but have never noticed any odor. It has a unique smell, that I find neither strong or unpleasant.

I have had my vittles vault for quite sometime. I just put the food in it. I opened it up and I don't smell the plastic odor. I have had it at least a year so I am not sure about how long it takes to go away.

Ours did not have an unpleasant odor when we received it. Smelt like the typical plastic, rubber item. Maybe to speed up the process of getting rid of the smell let it soak in a strong fragrant soap? Hope this helps you out.

Mine seemed to smell fine - so I'm not sure what you're experiencing is normal for the manufacturer. I'd consider asking for an exchange to confirm it's not something off on that unit. Just my $0.02 :-)

Hi! Mine is certainly fragrant, although I wouldn't call it a strong fragrance. Also my batch tastes great, with a good strong vanilla taste - but I'm used to vanilla with no sugar added, so that may have something to do with it. I doubt you got an old batch, as this company seems pretty awesome. Perhaps there is a date code on the pouch. Myself, I love this vanilla and it has plenty of vanilla flavor and smell for me.

Personally, I would exchange it. When I first opened the package, mine had zero smell to it. Absolutely none. Which is exactly what we're paying so much extra money for, right?! I would assume there's something wrong with yours. I absolutely love mine.
