Question
A woman prepared cakes yesterday and now noticed that there was a significant infestation of worms in the mixer. She found the worms only under the mixer but is concerned they might have entered during the whipping process, and there might have been an infestation from above as well. Is she allowed to throw the cakes away, or would that be a violation of the prohibition of wastefulness?
Answer
It is permissible to throw them away, and it does not constitute a violation of the prohibition of wastefulness.
