Confused Flour Beetle

[Tak]

I get daily food alerts, recalls, warnings etc emailed at work from the food standards agency.

This morning I got this one:
Quaker Oats has recalled a batch of their own brand 1.5kg carton of Quaker Oats Original and 1kg carton of Quaker 'Jumbo' Rolled Oats due to the potential presence of confused flour beetle

I now have stuck in my head a Pheebs-esk image of a beetle covered in flour looking all confused, wandering around going "der" ;D

Sounds like something Harry Potter would say.

Is it wrong for me to feel sorry for the confused beetle?

Lol. If it's confused does it shag the flour then? *odd thought* :D

Aaaaah. Is that why it's confused?

I eat that exact product. Every day.

I pour them into a tuppaware cereal thing though, and throw the box away. :\

One would hope you'd have spotted any confused beetles then. If not, they'll have a sore head now.

[iCraig]

I'm suing them for whiplash.
