larva in brown rice

Salima from Goodwood Heights

I buy an Australian brown rice from Pak and Save and second time I found larva crawling in it. informed Pak and Save last time (last year) and they refunded the money. this year I emailed them, they want the batch number, I do not have the packet. I emailed Ministry of Primary Industry and sent video from my phone. they identified the larva and left it there. phoned Citizens Advice Bureau who said to speak to Pak and Save. I am not wanting a refund. I am concerned they are bringing this rice and it is full of larva. I soak my rice and wash it several times, hence could catch them, others may not be so careful. I know they are not poisonous but who wants to eat them.  can anyone tell me what to do about this.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Poll: Have you ever had a scary flight?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
