I wouldn't eat it, but also being pregnant, I can say that my sense of smell is seriously skewed right now. It's a bit better now that I'm in my second tri, but I'd probably Lean towards "it's you" vs. "it's the pasta salad". Could be something as simple as you smelling the plastic of the container. I still wouldn't chance it.

Carbs are Not Allowed.

They're both just carbs.

There is an "odor" around a lot of the stuff in their salad bar. What IS that smell?

Throw it to be safe, OP.

You're pregnant and your sense of smell is hyperactive and may not detect smells as usual. For safety, don't eat the rest! But I doubt there's anything really wrong with it.

throw out.

Everything there tastes like nothing, especially the prepared foods and bakery items.

High class people don't talk about high class people vs. low class people.

I would toss it. In the trash.

I'm one to play chicken with the expiration date, but if it doesn't smell right you need to toss it, regardless of the date. A chemical smell would make me think something has turned.

This is what comes of eating pasta salad. Which is vulgar according to DCUM.

I see from the ingredients it has vinegar and also vitamin E. Maybe it's the vitamin e that's making it smell bad? Has anyone experienced this? I am worried because I had one small bite and I'm pregnant. I'm throwing the rest away.
