Have you noticed any defects with recent Fuji 400 35mm film sold at drug stores in the USA?

[Certain Exposures]

Hello, have you noticed speckling with a similar pattern and position on multiple frames on a roll of fresh Fuji 400 35mm film you purchased in the last few months? The pattern is on the negative itself - not dust or debris. It creates a large cluster of fine, yellow dots on the frame when you invert the negative. I've noticed it on multiple frames a roll.

I'm reviewing my 35mm developing and scanning process in the meantime; however, a Portra 400 roll I developed in the same tank and chemistry didn't show a similar problem. I've developed 120 rolls in the same tank and chemistry, and at the same time, without observing a similar defect. I've decided to stop buying Fuji 400 for now.

I don't have time to share pictures and light table views at the moment.

Nope. Seems to be good film. I just finished developing 10 rolls in my Jobo. It came out fine.
