Why does butter substitute taste so weird when it's gone off?

I just found an unopened tub of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter in the back of the fridge that was dated use by January. I tasted some and it has this weird kind of chemical, plasticky, perfumy undertaste. Years ago I had the same thing with some out of date Clover spread and it put me off that brand thereafter, so I know it's not unique to one brand.
It doesn't taste natural, like when cooking oil goes off it just tastes stale and musty, or butter, which I've found gets a kind of oniony taste. Anyone noticed the same or know what it is?

Just buy butter instead. It doesn't go off for ages and even when it does it just goes sour/rancid perfectly naturally.
