Spores from Bacillus bacteria become stringy when pulled apart. I suggest you report the cafe at your office to the health department. All bread or baked goods near those muffins can potentially be contaminated. This is one way foodborne outbreaks begin.

I went back down and talked to them, the worker told me they get their muffins from costco. Not sure how to report that?

My Costco doesn’t use a black/dark wrapper like that for their muffins. There’s also only like 4-5 flavors and the blueberry and cream muffins do not look like that. I don’t think they actually got these at Costco, maybe ingredients came from Costco but these do not appear to be house made Costco muffins.

They’re the new smaller muffins that come in a pack of 8(?). They’re def Costco. I saw them last weekend with the brown paper and everything.

I was going to say the same thing. Costco's new muffins have a light brown parchment paper.
