  1. Mr Fancy Pants over here bragging about his free extra protein.

  2. You got the proto type for the great reset let them eat bugs ..slowly introduce so they get used to it lolx seriously that’s disgusting hope you ok I would have wretched x

  3. There’s also a percentage that comes already milled into the flour.

    Edit: the most sensible figure i could find is up to 2%, was act hard to find an answer all the results bring up weevles that’s your own fault

  4. Realistically what harm is this? Boil them off, sauce around it, who knows any better?

  5. Oh my god! Other species exist along side our own 🤯

  6. That Tesco finest pasta is very nice, without contaminants. It’s also quite expensive.
    I take it you posted that to their twitter with lots of tags so it gets lots of traction.
    Clearly it’s likely there will be many bags likewise affected.

  7. Surprisingly enough, there’s an EU directive which states that there can be X amount of insect parts per X amount of pasta

  8. These guys are why you should always sieve your flour

  9. Weevils are a fucking *nightmare* house infestation to get rid of, nip this in the bud now.

    Check everything else that was in the same cupboard as the pasta to see if they’ve spread, give the cupboard a good scrub with Fairy liquid, then again with 50/50 white vinegar / water solution. If you want to keep any items in the cupboard put them into Tupperware tubs first before you put them back.

  10. I had an awful experience with their mussels over 20 years ago. I’ve not eaten mussels since. I took the empty packaging back and was more or less laughed at by their customers services person. In hindsight I must have looked a state as I’d been unable to sleep and got up about 7am then rushed myself to A&E as I was covered head to toe in red blotches. I then spent the morning having a typical double bucket experience.

    It’s possible I just had some sort of allergic reaction. In a letter Tesco said they had sold more of the same batch with nobody else getting ill. But the initial contact I had with guy in customer service, who had a smirk on his face whilst dealing with me and clearly found the whole situation funny, left me feeling they were not taking me seriously.

    This happened almost 25 years ago. I do the family shop in Sainsbury’s now and only use Tesco for small items if all the other shops are closed. The possibly dodgy mussels, but certainly their after sales have cost Tesco easily 100k in sales and rising.

    I just realised if my 6 kids were also to boycott Tesco, they’ll easily lose over a million in sales from one family due to one guys shitty attitude in customer service over a pack of mussels at £3.
