Flour mites and weevils are common kitchen pests that are often found in pantries and dry food cupboards. They thrive in dark and humid conditions, making your kitchen cupboard the perfect breeding ground.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] [ PubMed] Neither weevils or flour mites bite, sting or poison, so aren’t dangerous to touch. But what happens if you eat flour mites or weevils – are they harmful? If you eat flour with weevils they are unlikely to harm you, so don’t be too concerned if you’ve used the contaminated product beforehand. If you’re using products in baking, the high temperatures would help to have made the flour safe to eat. That said, it’s not recommended to make a habit of this – if you find any products with mites or weevils, it’s best to dispose of them immediately and take steps to ensure the infestation is dealt with.
