The Ryugu samples were of course treated with great care, with scientists deploying strict contamination controls such as hermetically-sealed transportation and nitrogen-purged clean rooms to limit the chance of contamination.

But despite the special measures, the researchers at Imperial College London ended up finding signs not of alien life but terrestrial life instead.
