Help: concrete information

Some of you will remember that I had a major renovation done last summer which involved a new basement.

There was excavation down to virgin soil and footings installed. Then I had an 8 inch concrete slab poured over the virgin soil to form the basement floor. I just noticed a small crack running the entire width of the slab. I'm just amazed that this slab cracked.

But WTF!!! Is this a structural issue? Must I have this dug up? Given that the footings are separate from the slab is the foundation OK? WTF do I do?

I've contacted the contractor but no response so far.

Help please
