Can bugs form in old bottled spices?!


Question: Can bugs form in old bottled spices!?
Because my cousin had this extremely old bottle of curry powder that her mom probably had for like 15 years!. She opened it and spilled some onto a plate and found tiny dead bugs in it!. It was the most disgusting thing ever! My cousin's mom said that bugs form in something gets very old!. Is this true!?

By the way, the bottle of curry powder was closed tightly!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

some bugs are pretty small!.

It's true!.

This happens a lot with flour too!. Even when you buy it from the store, there are bug eggs already inside!. Eventually they hatch, and voila!.!.!. bugs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
