Help - My Baking Powder stinks

Posts: 1,114 Forumite
I've only started to use this recently so wasn't sure if it supposed to have this disgusting smell.
I've done a search online which said as long as it is airtight it shouldn't go off. I bought it at an ethnic market and it's been sealed in a jar since, but it stunk when I tipped it out of the packaging when first bought.
It has a really strong (eyes watering) ammonia smell, and the banana bread i'm doing right now asked for 3 teaspoons, i really can't see it being edible when it comes out.
So is it supposed to smell like this?

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.

I don't think it should smell of anything, do you think it could have been contaminated before you bought it? What sort of packaging was it in? I hardly like to say what smells of ammonia!:eek:0

If you lace some in water it should fizz, if it doesn't it's gone off. According to my web research anyhoo....There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.0
