And not only should you not use the bag, but before you do, call either the
supplier or the manufacturer, and report the suspected contamination. If
the bag has not been compromised in any way (punctured or opened), they
will probably want to know about it. There should be a lot or batch or
control number on the bag as well, and they will want that number. You
want to do this so they can check their records and see if any other
complaints about contaminations on that particular lot have been logged.
