Beware of Worms
BEWARE. I was really excited about this being such a great deal, until I realized that this product was full of WORMS. Disgusting. When I received the bag, I immediately transferred the majority of the chia seeds to an airtight thick plastic container with a screw-on lid.I noticed from the get-go that the seeds seemed to stick to the scoop I was using, almost like there was static electricity? I didn't think much of it. Today after a FEW MONTHS of using this product in daily smoothies, I noticed a mealworm-like bug emerging from the chia in the jar, and finally put two and two together. It wasn't static electricity - it was webbing. I went back and checked the original bag, which still contained about 10 cups of chia. More worms, more webbing. I am still throwing up in my own mouth. Absolutely disgusting. Will never purchase again.
