Post by: Ehsan on May 21, 2026, 11:18 PM
Has anyone else noticed this in their soy chunks? Is it safe to eat?

Note: I've inspected them carefully – they're not worms or insects.

If it's Saffola, it's probably fine - just emotionally damaged soy chunks :))

No, I haven't come across it. Maybe ask a professional.

I've seen it in my Fortune brand too. Being in India, I stopped being pedantic about every tiny detail to hit my protein goals.

Probably a weevil.

I've never seen that in my soy chunks. I buy from Zoff and Daily Good.

Soya chunks are made from the leftover cake after oil extraction. The high temperature can burn some soy particles, which may show up as black specks in the final product, but it's usually not a problem.

Not sure, but they could be insects called beetles, or just residues. Better avoid eating them – who knows what they are.

Some say those dots are estrogen particles.
