Having lived in Texas for several years I can certainly remember grub like 
things (I presumed them to be weevils) in my dry foods.  I learned by 
experience that usually if there were grubs visible on opening the product, 
chances were good that they were pretty much going to be throughout the whole 
thing.  Not wishing to spend hours going through trying to find them all, and 
because the whole thing grossed me out, I'd usually end up either taking the 
stuff back to the store for a replacement, or just throwing it out if it was 
that bad.   Storing in Tupperware type containers definately helps the 
problem.
