When you buy a bag of rice, is it supposed to come with worms the same color AND size as the rice?

[Deja Q]

:puke:

It gives "whole grain" a whole new meaning (and taste! :puke: )

1. My father in law's first job as a chemist

was counting and reporting the number of insect parts per ounce of creamed corn for Del Monte.

There is an FDA limit on these, you know, and it's not zero.

[Rosemary2205]

2. yep!

it's quite difficult and likely cost prohibitive to get them ALL out.

4. Not zero for peanut butter either. nt

[trof]

3. Yes, they are called 'maggots'. Rich source of protein.

5. Absolutely

Otherwise you'd see them and not buy the rice.

6. The solution is to freeze the rice overnight

and then keep your eyes closed while eating.

11. Freeze dried worms, yummy! I wish I still had fish...

I could feed them the worms... :9

yeah, I'll keep my eyes closed next time. Rather like, as Frank Sinatra might call it, makin' whoopie...

12. When it's very good,

you keep your eyes open. :hug:

7. This is why I quit rice

The first time I chalked it up to an unusual experience.
The second time it happened, I gave up on rice.
What I had were black worms or insects.
:puke: is right!

8. Yes, it's like Mezcal

You hallucinate if you eat the worm
