Basically, if you would not want to put it in your mouth, I say toss it. Yes, Tim, it can also become cloudy. But IMHO, the smell changes first. I don't know about color change. Anyone else know? Also BTW, if I bought gelcaps, I would definitely pierce and check one before using them.

That's a good idea. Of course, it could be rancid at time of purchase, too, but again, it's a bad smell. Grizzly Salmon Oil, for example, smells strong and fishy, but nothing about it smells "bad." A kind of interesting side note here is that some dogs exude that odor through their pores (I guess -- through their skin, anyway) after taking non-deodorized fish oil for a while, and most don't. JME. I have no idea why, but I do know it's not a factor of the oil itself, because the two dogs I've had who smelled fishy until they were switched to deodorized oil had the same oil as the rest of the dogs. Also, they didn't smell "bad." Just fishy. LOL

For example does it get cloudy or lose its color? I wouldn't count on a color change. It's way bad before the bacteria/etc make the oil cloudy. Next time you're at home depot find the alaska fish fertilizer in the garden center and take a wiff from afar more than likely you can walk by the section and get a wiff. I imagine the smell is pretty similar from a few feet away to a newly rancid bottle being opened.
