Material Coming From Filtered Water Dispenser

I have a Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator (ED5VHEXVQ) that is ~4 years old.  I replace the internal filter every six months.  Lately, I've been finding a red material (looks like small pieces of tissue) in the water it's dispencing.  Is there something that I should do to slean out the water lines since it's already filtered?
