Question
Is there a halachic obligation to check spices before use? Is there any difference in the halacha if they are stored refrigerated or not refrigerated?
Answer
Shalom u-veracha
Our teacher, HaRav HaGaon Rabbi Amram Fried shlita, has ruled:
There is no obligation to check; the insects found in spices do not reach the level of a “common minority” (mi’ut ha-matzui).
