Don't know about seeing it, and the article says that mixes that are
sealed in foil/plastic *should* be fine.

Buckwheat flour wouldn't be subject to this mould thing..... it seems to
only occur in mixes that have yeast in them.


I've had some flour (a long while back) that ended up with weavils in it,
but it doesn't seem to be happening of late. They must be using a better
radiation technique ;-)
