on: Is it allowed to eat untested rice thanks.?

: It is necessary to select rice before eating it in order to make sure that no insects or worms are found in the rice. Therefore, one should not eat rice without first selecting it. However, if you purchase clear rice in vacuum packaging bearing the kosher stamp, there is no need to select it again, as long as the packaging remains closed in a vacuum.   It is important to note that the purpose of choosing rice is to see that there are no insects or worms in it, but black dots or discoloration in the rice grains or white dots, etc. are not a problem, and they are allowed to be eaten. Also, high-quality rice that is found in small closed packages and not in large sacks, it is enough to select most of the rice and there is no need to sort out everything literally, since the percentage of touches in this type of rice is extremely low and is not a minority found. Different from this, is the brown rice or red or black rice, or a little old rice or rice that is in large sacks, or any rice that seems to be unclean, since it has insects and worms in it more frequently, it should not be satisfied with choosing most of the rice but should be completely checked.

Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
