No need to panic. These are just small fragments of carbon which have escaped from the filter. They can be caused by rubbing of the carbon particles during transport and general handling. It’s quite normal.

That’s why Brita recommend that the first two fillings shouldn’t be used – although, if you did use them it still wouldn’t be a major problem. The contents of the Brita cartridges are food grade quality and will do you no harm whatsoever – the taste might not be as pleasant as you’d wish for, that’s all.

Soak the cartridge thoroughly when you first use it and shake it whilst immersed under water. That’ll encourage any loose carbon particles to be released and will help to avoid any further carbon particles being released during the useful lifetime of your cartridge.
