These things appeared in friends flat. What are they?
It’s clearly a gummy worm. You should be safe to eat it immediately. It should taste like what a flavour engineer in the 80s thought peaches kinda taste like
You can put whatever they have infested in the freezer for a few days, then pick them out and transfer the contents to a sealed container.
When I lived in the tropics it was quite normal to have these in flour, grains, dried legumes, dried chillies etc.
Or, just hear me out—you could throw the whole thing away and try to never think about the maggots again.
I knew someone would come back with something like this.
You can pretty much forget about eating the things I listed then, oh and dried pasta too.
Besides, if you don’t think you’re eating that stuff already then you haven’t looked at the USDA or FDA Food Defect Levels. There are allowable levels for fun things like insect parts and rodent droppings.
Except the USDA and FDA specifically are irrelevant in any other country.
Flea maggot. A piece of meat hidden that fell somewhere and you can’t see it. There should be more there
The kind I don’t want anywhere near me or any my belongings and most definitely nowhere near my food.
