Kemach brand Bow Tie Egg Noodles (large) with code 5/16/18 and Kemach Minestrone Soup Mix with code N7172A have been found to contain insects in some bags and should be inspected carefully before use by the Kosher consumer. This can be done by spreading the product across a white paper plate and looking for signs of infestation. It is advisable to spot-check all pasta at this time of year, since pasta, improperly stored in warm conditions during the summer is more liable to develop infestation. At the store, check that there is not a large amount of powder at the bottom of the package. Also shake the package and look for insects at the bottom. When cooking, check for any insects that float up to the surface of the water.
