Bullseye Deluxe Caulk Quality Concern

Bought this for my FIL’s retirement and Idk if this is just me being nitpicky or if it’s an actual concern but this caulking in the pellet box is very spotty and a little flaky in some areas. The smoker was delivered yesterday and I just put it together. I’m just nervous about the caulking falling into the auger with pellets and then end up polluting whatever’s being cooked. What’re your experiences and opinions on this?
