There were BUGS in my 3 lb can of Sunflower Seeds

[Guest guest]

Well this has been an experience for me.

Late in March I had purchased a 3 lb can of Sunflower seeds from a company (not

Sproutpeople). I opened that can (after freezing overnight) and scooped out a

half cup, replaced the white plastic lid and put the can in another room.

I grew my sunnies with no problem. This afternoon I went back into the room,

took the lid off the can and to my dismay, all these (I think they were white)

little tiny things were crawling over the inside of the lid). Quick as a rabbit

I replaced the lid, threw the whole can away in the garbage (outside my house)

and went back to make sure nothing was left behind where I had stored it. There

was nothing. I washed the area anyway. I wasn't taking any chances. I thought I

was safe by freezing but then EW has explained that he thinks they might have

been pantry moths and they don't get killed, they just get dormant. How nice.

I don't store flour or anything loose in my kitchen and this was not in my

kitchen anyway. It was in a spare room where I don't keep any food except for

two containers of dry pasta (in OSO FRESH containers). I must have inspected

this room 5 times just to make sure.

I haved contacted the company, explained what happened and I hope they do the

right thing. I am now only going to grow pea shoots. So far so good.

Sigh!!!!
