What't the lot and MFG date?
The one I just bought was over pulverized(dusty) and had some gray clumps in it as well as a few unbroken pellets..... seal band printed with (1?)7SEP19 MFI1
Makes perfect sense, fermenting starts to 'digest' the grains....anything else just rots and pretty quickly. Fermenting other foods for preservation is a whole nother story.
I hate that/those articles/posts....misleading headlines and text.....with little mention of the hatcheries where it originates...just blatantly points to BYCer's Grrr!!
Sorry, mini rant over.
Anyone remember the red eared slider turtles they used to sell at pet and dime stores?
They...
Yes, Probably not-but maybe, Maybe, Maybe.
Grain mites burst forth in much greater numbers during hot humid conditions.
I freaked the first time I saw grain mites.....but have learned they are not that big of a deal-unless they get into your kitchen/pantry/mealworm bins. DE will kill them...
I would imagine the dried stuff is activated once wet and warm (like dry yeast, mosquito dunks, milky spore, etc) inside the chickens gut ....or in the FF bucket.
Would be ok for the spoon tho?
Guess it might depend on what kind of stn stl,
there are many grades, some much better than others,
and most kitchen utensils don't specify what grade is used.
