    I have been buying Halo for years. That said, this can of Halo Grain-Free Turkey and Duck Pate was absolutely disgusting. It was black on top with an odor. I tried to stir it as it was supposed to be a “pate”; however, the black material did not break up. It was absolutely disgusting. The expiration date was 2024, so it was not expired; nevertheless, it should be recalled as it was a chunk of black God-knows-what for my kitty babies to consume. I took photos and tossed it down the drain! No way I am feeding this to my babies. Makes me rethink my purchases in the future. Scary!
