Question
Is there a concern of worms in utensils made from bamboo wood?
Answer
Rabbi Moshe Vaya, shlita, published: In disposable utensils and plates made of wood, small insects "psocids" (booklice) of gray-cream color, one millimeter long, were found.
Method of detection – after opening the package, hold a group of plates horizontally, shake them over a white surface, and observe if any insects fall.
Due to the difficulty in detecting these small insects, it is recommended not to use these utensils.
