Question
Hello and blessings, dear Rabbi. Recently, I've been experiencing an infestation of flour moths in my pantry at home, and I constantly find bags with worms. Yesterday, I made a dessert called tiramisu, which requires biscotti cookies, and today my wife saw worms in the (closed) package of cookies. The question is whether we need to throw away the existing dessert because at the time of making it, I didn't notice the issue, meaning it's very hard to miss the webs and holes in the cookies, and the question, as mentioned, is whether we still need to discard the dessert. Blessings for a good Moed. P.S. I should note that yesterday I made a sauce for pasta and used ground chili, and while adding the chili, I noticed there was a worm in the sauce, and the chili was full of webs, so I poured out the entire sauce.
Answer
Hello and blessings
Since you did not see worms at the time of making the dessert, the dessert is permitted to eat.
In principle, the dessert should be checked, but based on the description, I assume it is not possible.
