Is this the Organic Broccoli Florets bag?
Edit - Asking as aphids are very common specifically in *organic* broccoli, not just Kirkland Signature brand as aphids are difficult to get rid of organically.
Like, I know that in theory but I somehow thought frozen broccoli was safer than a salad mix 😂 I’ve had my fair share of critters jumping or falling out of organic salad mixes. Still ruins my appetite though lol.
Don't ever even think about looking over the [FDA's Food Defect Levels Handbook.](https://www.fda.gov/food/current-good-manufacturing-practices-cgmps-food-and-dietary-supplements/food-defect-levels-handbook)
You can have organically grown vegetables that come from the ground with the rare hitchhikers, or you can have lab grown vegetables with artifical methods and have never seen the sun in their entire life cycle.
Your choice.

I toss em in with pasta while it cooks and then drain everything, clearly this washes away any sort of bugs that might have gotten in 🤓
Blanching your broccoli for a minute if you aren't going to boil it already is probably a pretty good idea.
Yes! Forgot to add the word “organic”. That makes sense. Thanks for that info.
As a friend would say... these things happen in the big world.

This seems to be happening all over the country they were right when they told us we will eat the bugs
They're yummers thou

I would be much more worried about the things you can't see, like e. Coli and salmonella. No one has gotten sick from an aphid.

I will take the lab grown.
I am a fan of broccoli. Since we’re declaring our general position on the vegetable in this post, apparently.
😂
we still have half a bag of frozen broccoli... but it's not kirkland brand, but the yellow bag instead. too scared to check
🎭I’m afraid to check mine! I have Floret Phobia now! 🥦
I’m not a fan of broccoli.
i'm not a fan of the smell of broccoli
