It was time to deworm the horses. Grabbed a package of the durvet brand ivermectin (apple flavored). I've never bought or given them apple before, but last time I went to the store that was all they had because everyone's been buying it, lol. I didn't think anything of it and bought a case.

Just opened the box and the syringe inside was not sealed inside a clear plastic bag. Lifted off the syringe end cap and no tamper resistant aluminum seal is present which you peel off revealing the contents of the syringe. The contents of the syringe look like yellow petroleum jelly instead of a white paste.

I open every new box I bought, and they're all the same. All absent of proper safety seals. I'm not giving this shit to my horses. The unflavored type is never packaged nor looks this way.

Is this normal? (I'm thinking no, and taking it back for a refund or exchange.)
