It depends.

Sometimes, it's just flecks of the corn germ. Whole grain cornmeal is considered superior to degermed corn meal, but it's not a big difference.

It can also be mold, mildew, smut, or signs of contamination by insects or rodents. Many people eat rodents and or insects, and insects are high in protein, but I'd just as soon have cornmeal without the additives, please.

When you bring cornmeal home, it's a good idea to remove it from the bag and store it in a dry, sealed container. A burp-able plastic container or a zipper bag inside a regular canister works well.
