At first I thought maybe the mfgr just changed the packaging (they sometimes do), but then I noticed the area you highlighted and the fact that the container said "Made in China." Perhaps the mfgr has licensed the making of the pellets to a co. in China (cos. try to cut costs anyway they can)? I know the carbon packs for the AquaClear filters I buy are sometimes made in China and sometimes made in Italy (the latter are better).
When I used to buy Nutrafin, it was the container that's in the link to Petco's product. Looking at the container above that you have, I see what appear to be some grammatical errors/typos(?), and the second capital T in the word Turtle (TurTle) looks bizarre. But what's really noticable is the pellets--the Nutrafin pellets I used to buy were pinkish, not green/gray like the ones above.
Where did you buy your pellets? If you bought them in a store, where are you located?
