Reader Submitted Video: Bugs Found In Bag Of Barley

I poured some barley into a bowl from a bag of barley that had been sealed. I bought it a few weeks ago at a local grocery store.

As soon as I added hot water to the bowl, a few dead bugs rose to the top.

Afterward, I found live bugs walking around inside the bag. I believe they may be grain weevils.

Editor’s note: This is a reader’s report about one bag. It does not establish a problem with other bags or products.

However, TLS previously reported on STAR-K’s reminder to check all barley for insects, even when the package has a hechsher.
