I bought a sack of rice at Costco, put it in a closet, then on opening
it found small white bugs running all through it. Not sure if the
rice was inedible, but I tossed it. Not inclined to buy any more of
those cloth sacks from Asia, but just stick to the US ones in zip-lock
plastic.
The sack of pinto beans I bought doesn't seem to have any bugs.
