What is this?

So i have used succulent food once since i got these (I’ve used it once for each succulent pot as instructed) but ever since used it this has been showing up on some of my succulents. Is this a result of the succulent food, what is this, is it bad?
Was the succulent food the kind you dilute in water first? This looks like residue from water getting on the leaves and then drying up. You often see similar-looking mineral deposits when using tap water. Try not to get the leaves of your succulents wet when watering, especially when the water has diluted fertilizer in it. Dampen a clean cloth and wipe off the residue, they'll be fine.
@stephongreg I used this individually because I had watered them before I bought it a day or so before
