Trader Joe's has terrible produce and meat with a short shelf life. Too many times I've bought rice and boxed pasta that contain dead bugs that float to the top when boiling.

The bugs are an indication of poor storage the rudimentary milling and processing. Most likely a one or two step processing before it hit the shelves.

Multi-stage milling usually get rid of that. If you're shopping organic you should be happy about the bugs, unfortunately.

I don't buy produce and meat from TJs, because local supermarkets have better deals. I just buy dry/frozen goods from TJs, and have yet to experience what you did, shrug.

As long as we're sharing anecdata, in my experience TJs has decent quality control... but it depends a bit store to store.

You'll be fine. Chinese citizens eat all sorts of insects.
