Question

I found a dead worm in a box of candied peanut pieces. Is it permissible to use the rest of the box from the outset? And what is the status of the chocolate that I have already mixed with peanuts from this box?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

Since only one worm was found, the rest of the peanuts in the box are permitted without inspection.
