Issue
Some brands of quinoa were recently found to contain booklice. The Orthodox Union is looking into this matter. Accordingly, quinoa should not be used without a thorough inspection. The method of checking that has been found to be effective is to pour the quinoa into a thirty mesh sifter and agitate for 30 seconds over a white surface. If any booklice are found on the white surface, the quinoa should be discarded.
