Is it vegan to eat rice that's been infested with rice weevils?
Weevils sometimes infest rice and beans. Is it still vegan to eat this rice and beans or is this a throw it away situation? Washing the rice would kill them I assume, but you wouldn't consume them, unless you didn't wash them thoroughly enough, which is always possible. They're really tiny and hard to see. Easily mistaken for a dark piece of dust or just the darkness between rice grains in a large bowl of rice. You really wouldn't notice one until it moves.
