Default Zooplus Log Problems!

I have the cork log from zooplus and when i was taking it out of harley's cage to do a clean today i noticed that in all the little holes in it (it had them when it arrived) there was fluffy white stuff, almost like cotton wool but when you touch it it feels sort of plasticy.

Im worried that when the log came it might have been infested with some sort of insect, could this white fluff be from larvae or something? What should i do? Is harley in danger?

Maybe PM the user Nappo? She may be able to help as many people in germany use cork tunnels, so if they've had this issue then she'd know..
I'm off to check mine!
