The FDA said it "is looking into the matter," according to the report.

"The FDA takes seriously any reports of possible adulteration of a food that may also cause illnesses or injury," an FDA spokesperson said in a statement. "Depending on the seriousness of the problem, an FDA investigator may visit the person who made the complaint, collect product samples, and initiate inspections."

"The complaints are also discussed with company management during these inspections."
