I just bought crickets last night, and they died already..?

I have one of those critter keepers, and I had their pen set up the same as I always have started. Normally we get 50 (this time I got 40) and they survive just fine until they're fed to my gecko. I feed them Fluker's cricket quencher and High-calcium cricket diet. The only thing I did differently was dust them with the reptile vitamin stuff I use before putting them into the cage. However, I also noticed one cricket in the bag that had some white splotches on his body, but I didn't really think much of it. Today I went up to feed my gecko and found that all but maybe 5 crickets had died, and seemed to be stuck in some sort of dried-up sickly yellowish-brown stuff. What could've gone wrong? Was that one cricket diseased (enough to impact the others) or something?
