Though I've never read "Trichoderma added" on any pack I bought, there was one brand ,forget which one, that, as I sliced through the brick, had definite green penny sized powdery discs incorporated throughout the brick. Was this Trichoderma. I don't know.
As I had already used some of this in an earlier grow, using RR's pasteurise in a jar method,link without problem, I continued using it.
E-mailed the manufacturer 'Zoo med laboratories inc' today for confirmation.

Bump. Just discovered a reply (30/4)from the manufacturers of "eco earth" coir: "We do not add anything outside of coconut husk to this product. I do not know what this green material could be." They even offered to send me a replacement brick if I could send them a picture/sample of the 'green disc' described for their technicians to examine. So, I guess it was another brand that I bought that was the "green disc" offender.
Before I forget. Found a cheap supplier in the UK. If you buy 20+ bricks £0.88p each, DELIVERY AND VAT INCLUDED.  Link

Yes. I discovered a pet shop last week with them but will still do the bag one.
