Erythritol has a butter odor, sign of spoilage?

This would be my third bag of Whole Earth brand Erythritol and strangely this one has a butter odor while all the other bags of Erythritol, including one bag of Keto brand Erythritol, had no detectable odor at all. Should I throw this bag out?

    I would wonder about an odd smell like that. I've purchased several bags of Erythritol and not one of them has had any odor at all.

    As much as I don't like wasting food, it'll take a lot for me to ignore my gut and swallow something that looks, smells, or tastes "off"

    I'd throw the whole bag away 🤷🏾‍♀️

    I forgot to mention that I've purchased Now Foods, Nourished, and most recently. Anthony's brands of erythritol with no issues if you're looking for another brand to try.

    I'd throw the bag out too.

    Yeah, I'm not gonna eat this. To the trash.
