TikToker's Weevil Woes Spark Food Preservation Debate

Weevils in Food: A Growing Concern? Across the US, consumers are increasingly encountering insects in their food, leading to frustration and questions about food safety and preservation practices. One TikTok user, Taneka Collins (@funnybear47), recently shared her experience, stating, "Why do we have to do all this for it not to be bugs in our food?" Her video highlights the extra steps many take to prevent infestation, such as freezing food. The rising cost of groceries, including eggs, adds another layer to this concern. Experts suggest regular pantry checks and proper storage to minimize insect problems. While finding weevils is unpleasant, it's a reminder to be vigilant about food storage and to check products before consuming them.
