Examination of Cowpeas

Infestation of foods

Question

I have just now checked cowpeas for Rosh Hashanah. The first five times that I checked, I found more than three insects each time. On the sixth time, I found nothing. Can I use the cowpeas?

Answer

Greetings,
If you have now searched thoroughly and found nothing, it is permissible to eat it.
