FAT BALLS

I returned a bucket of 50 FAT BALLS last week because when I opened the lid they smelt reasty/rancid & yet the date had another year before the expiry date which is worrying because there are hundreds of similar for sale. This to me & no doubt thousands of others who's intention is helping birds check the Fat Balls to find what I did. I will go back to buying from Wilco who's FAT BALLS do not smell as the others did. I fully realise that birds immune system may be able to cope with those fat balls that have gone off but I remember seeing a lady down south who's dog nearly died due to eating bad fat balls that had dropped from her 'feeder'. While ever a bird lovers sense of smell is working I would suggest smelling those fat balls before feeding them to any birds. I do not want to attract a court case but the letter of the first name of the company who's fat balls were reasty/rancid, was the letter H !
