Black dusty mold in dates

I am trying to eat more dried fruits so I bought a container at Trader Joes. **** I bit into one and after a couple of bites this black dust started to come out of mouth!!! I found a couple of people online that the same thing happened. I'm so freaked out. I have bad allergies too and almost felt like I was wheezing. I can't believe it. The rest of the container looks fine. I think.

I actually called them about this.,, i noticed this white film on the dates.. I called trader joes they said it was normal. It's the natural sugars coming out.

But this was not sugar!! It was black fine powder in the inside!! The weirdest thing I ever saw!
