Slimy Sabrett Franks!!

So we just opened a package of Sabrett skinless franks, and they are SLIMY!! We checked the expiration date, and it said 10/9 which is today. We decided to check online and noticed people blogged about this same problem, 4 years prior! Just wanna know if anyone else is suffering through this still! We rinsed them off and are cooking them now, but it's just GROSS!!
