These critters inevitably get mixed into our food, but we shouldn’t be bothered by this. According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, it’s perfectly safe to have some insect parts mixed in while food processors are manufacturing our daily sources of nourishment.
Stored grain pests account for a significant amount of loss every year in the agricultural sector. Handlers of dry agricultural commodities know the extent of damage that these various insects can bring, such as the lesser grain borer’s tendency to decimate stored grains or the rice weevil’s ability to render nutritious rice as inedible. Whatever the pest may be, farmers and traders strive to find solutions in order to prevent such from happening.
Insects play a huge role in causing significant post-harvest losses of grains every year. This leads to food insecurity and contributes to lower incomes for farmers and traders alike.
