Help, ceramic spoon broke off in public meat processor?

I work at a public meat processing plant and when the meat is being mixed with other ingredients in one of the large mixers, you sometimes have to knock the loose pieces of mixture back into the mixture bowl, We are to use the rubberized spoons they give us, but I was using a ceramic spoon (it was better than touching the meat with my hand). Well, the ceramic spoon broke off on one of the mixing blades. I tried to get it, but it had already been mixed up. It is a large batch of mix and each batch can cost as much as $600. I just ran the machine through several cycles to try and grind the ceramic up. I tasted it and I didn't taste anything gritty like broken gl so I just sent it down the embly line. I also checked online and ceramic is not poisonous to humans if ingested. I am not going to say anything because I don't want to get fired. Do you think everything will be okay. The finalized product has not been shipped yet, so I still have chance to change my mind and speak up.
