Question
I poured couscous into a bowl and then saw an ant in it. I removed it, and it seems to me that it came from the bag. Do I need to check the entire bag for fear that it is infested with ants?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
Even if the ant indeed came from the bag, there is no concern that the entire bag is infested. Only when three insects are found is a check required.
