It's happened to me before too. Not at Rouse's but more than likely some dumbass shopper/worker placed it back on the shelf after it had been out too long. Really nothing the siore could have done to prevent it. I shop ai Rouse's all the time and have always found their quality to be A+

I'm sure it's already trashed but if you would have brought the package and meat back to the store you could've been refunded. Happened to me on a twin boston butt pack from piggly-wiggly and they took it back.

Also my mother-in-law dropped a few bottles of wine she bought from Rouses that didn't get double bagged. Father-in-law brought the broken bottles with the seal and cork in place and the manager at the Thibodaux Rouses replaced the bottles.

A lot of you will disagree but, your beef wasn't spoiled. The smell is anaerobic rot. The only bacteria that can grow in a hermetic environment are anaerobic bacteria. I wouldn't have throw it out unless it was turning green. The liquid in the plastic is the probable culprit. It's referred to as purge and is an indication that the meat has been wet-aged. The longer the beef is in its sealed environment, the more liquid (hemoglobin) will purge out. Just rinse it well, trim, and cook.

Are you sure it wasn't a sulphur smell? Cryovac pork smells like that from time to time. It should go away after you rinse it. If not it probably is spoiled.

Had the same issue twice with the Ponchatoula Rouses. Bought meat, got home and opened package only to get hit with shite smell.

Returned to store both times and had no problem getting a refund. It has made me a little weary about buying meat from there again.
