Should ribs have an odor when you first open them?

I cut meat at a grocery store for a few years. It was not unusual to open a vacuum sealed bag of beef or pork, and have an off scent. A quick rinse takes care of it. However, on rare occasions I'd open a bag, and head outside immediately to pitch it. Bad pork is pretty awful, and chicken is worse.

Chicken will just about knock me out. I really struggle with the trash after I open a package of chicken.

Yeah, whenever I open baby backs, loin, chops, or any pork, I rinse out the package before throwing it in the trash, kitchen smells like ass every time. Normal with pork.
