Default Processor mixing the meat

Switched to a new processor this season, massive improvement over my previous guy. Better wrapped, labeled and so forth and the quality seems very good. Problem is this, I was eating some of the ground (taco meat) and got a piece of bullet. A small mix of copper and lead maybe the size of a squashed BB. I'm sure this is not uncommon but it bothered me because I know it is not from my bullet as I used a Lehigh (monolithic brass alloy).

So what do I do? Should I confront the processor or just let it pass. Is is common to mix up the ground? This guy is pretty high volume so I guess it could have simply been left in the grinder.

Don't want to rock to boat too much but I would like to know I am eating the deer I harvested. Yes, I know processing my own meat would solve the problem but I am not (yet) in a position to do so.
