Well, I'm not seeing any artifacts in that, nor much in the way of noise, really.
The darker areas - the shadowing and not quite black background are likely to be the areas where there are noise, if it's there at all.
You might try running the blur tool around the darker/shadow areas - don't use it at 100%, try maybe 50 or 60% and then resubmit it in a week or two.
It's possible the reviewer mistook that breaded coating as being noisy or maybe even pixelated. At first glance I thought I saw a little pixelation on the lower portions of it, but looking at it more closely I realized it was just the texture.
I took a copy of your crop and I'll open in PS and look closer, but I don't see much problem with it - since I can't see the rest of the photo, I'm wondering a little about the lighting in this (course, I have no idea what colour they are supposed to be either :lol: )
