Do not buy !!!!

I was advised to put any dried foodstuffs like that, spices etc in the freezer for at least 12 hours as that will kill off anything that might be lurking inside.

It's not just a Turkey thing, either - packs of flour etc in the UK often have those tiny little bug things in them that hatch if it's not used quickly enough.

Hmmmmm, sounds like left-over " Campaign Ready Meals "  from the 1st Iraq war ,  I was unaware that Turkey had bought up the surplus !

Someone once bought us a large box of Baclava over to the UK from Turkey.

When we went to open it we looked through the clear plastic lid and it was

like Animal Kingdom. It was full of various crawlies. All alive and well nourished.     Yuk.

Watch out for the bugs in flour and corn flour in uk plus the live worms in fresh fish mainly cod and haddock ,check on the internet to see them .

Are they on Facebook ?

Who - the bugs or the live worms? 

[KKOB]

Either.

Flour mites are quite common. Sealing the flour correctly stops it. Once they are in there best to bin it and buy new.
