Wormy bulk almonds – common or unacceptable???

[Guest guest]

I recently bought 25 lbs. of no-spray bulk almonds at $4 a pound. I was

so happy to find such a good deal until I opened the box the next day

and found worms and worm larva throughout the box of almonds. Is this a

common thing? Are they okay to use after removing the larva and worms?

I mostly use almonds for almond milk. So they get soaked and rinsed

before use. If I miss a worm or larva in the cleaning process would I

get sick?

 

I tried to shake them out and got some out but it would take me forever

to get all of them out. So I am freezing all the almonds, will that

kill the worms and larva? I am pretty upset about this. Now I am

finding worms that I dropped in the cleaning process. I am worried that

now the worms will get into other food. This sucks!!!

 

I'm going to call the company and complain, but I wanted to know it

this is a common thing when buying bulk or completely unacceptable?!?!

 

PLEASE HELP ME to know! Thanks.
