Stored food insects (store insects)
The need:
Insect classes that have adjusted to life in places in which dry agricultural produce, dry food and pulses are stored. This class feeds, breeds and develops in and on stored food. These classes include small beetles (coleoptera) (2-4 cm) and a few other small species (6-7 mm). They tend to be dark – dark brown or black, and their small body gives them excellent ability to enter storage places and food packaging;
Moths – members of the Lepidoptera order; Psocoptera – very small insects; acari – very small arthropods, which are not insects but arachnids. This small order of insects is capable of adjusting to very difficult conditions, their small body allowing them to hide in cracks (0.1-0.3 mm) and spread over merchandise and enjoy breeding ability and food in abundance.
In Israel, many pest species are found in stored food, mainly in pulses, flour, spices, rice, pasta, chickpeas and a wide range of other food types. These insects cause heavy damage to raw materials and finished products, along with reputational damage, due to customers revulsion against insect-infested products.
Also, the presence of insects is a major factor for disqualification of food products by kosher supervisors.
