This was quite unexpected when I opened the bottle. Why does it smell minty?

We are using scented packs in all our fish oil products going forward. Some people were off-put by the fish smell, which is especially potent on algae products. My wife had bought a product from another brand that smelled lemony when I opened it. I thought they coated the capsules in scent, but it was a little tablet in the bottle that was giving off the scent. I thought it would be a good thing to try out to make the fish oils smell more pleasant, so we contacted the manufacturer. We did some testing on the different scents, and the lemony mint one seemed to mask the fish smell the best, so we went with their little packs that look like desiccants. We are going to be adding them onto future lots of our fish/algae products.
