White substance in power supply

I just purchased a power supply and there are two white "glops" of something on the inside of the case (picture attached). Is this normal or was somebody eating marshmallow fluff while this was being assembled?

Re: White substance in power supply

I've seen this kind of thing before in other electronics. I'm not totally sure what it is- could be some kind of thermal compound, or some sort of insulation, but I don't think it does any harm
