Reminds me of the people who complained about mold in their Capri Suns drink pouches.  If you're buying something because of some misguided 'all natural-no preservatives-fresh-no pesticides-unpasteurized-etc.' ideology, don't be surprised when your food contains things that might have been eliminated by a bit of preservatives or pasteurization.
