Poke the Turtle

I was feeding my Russian tortoise as I usually do, putting her food on a plate and letting her eat. Just now, as she was chewing, I heard a very loud crunch, much louder than usual. I went to see what was going on and she had a piece of substrate (pure cypress mulch) halfway in here mouth. The piece wasn't huge, but clearly large enough to be concerning. I didn't know what to do, let her eat it, try to take it out, etc. She ended up ingesting it. She is still eating and seems to be fine, but I don't know what to do or if she will be alright.
