I'm shocking to see a problem find a chicken breast, and I can't believe in the modern UK, talk about smell in a food ,suppose to be high controlled, and no smell at all must coming from something we put inside our body.
Or the health department in UK doesn't exist ? or the food quality is very poor and low ? and people eat it without problem...due don't care?
We are not living in African countries or Asian countries where nothing is controlled, not like in Europe, and I'm surprise someone admit, the chicken breast can smell, sorry! I cannot accept a fact of smelling food as a normal food status, the food doesn't have to smell, Never! so, I believe buy a packet of 5 kg chicken breast is not a big deal, I'm wondering why don't you go to a serious butchery shop and buy a fresh chicken breast and than you can freeze it and use when you need it? At least you can check before you pay for it if is fresh or not and forget to go buy cheap food, spend money for your food, you will have always an high quality product, the cheap packs, are for who believe to save money, but in the Food Industry is not like that, A good product, like any thing, Oil, meat, fish, what ever, will cost more if is fresh, high quality and marked as controlled by the Authority, with date, production expiration, who made... and so on..
..if I can face some smelling food like that, the dustbin is the place where I will trow it without thinking, due I can get any sickness eating such type of.. food. and I don't think is normal eating smelling food...
