Oh yeah, this has happened to me multiple times.

Most recently this happened to me with smoked sausage ("Suitsuvorst" in Estonian)
I had this specific brand I bought smoked sausage from always, because I really liked the taste and texture of their product. Their product was absolutely the best in the business, until they went and changed something to make it fall to become one of the absolute worst ones.
IDK what they did with their sausages, but it felt like they stopped adding spices and didn't hold them in a refrigerated storage for weeks.

Now I migrated to my 2nd favorite brand and have to put mediocre sausage on my bread everyday :/
But it's still really good 😅
