Maybe. At any rate, I didn't want it.

Try steeping the weavil larvae in green tea for a few minutes. They
will absorb quite a bit of tea and enlarge by 75% or more. Then spread
them on a cookie sheet, sprinkly them with smoked salt and toast
them--but not too long! You don't want to scorch them. Then serve
them to your friends as an appetizer or afternoon snack. You can tell
them they are from France. They'll be impressed.

Yeah... right. You need to widen the scope of your material, this one
has been done to death.

How long ago did you buy it?

I find it hard to believe a bad that has no clear hole, that doesn't
begin leaking when picked up, has had a mouse inside it eating inside
it and pooping inside it. With a hold or leak in the bag and mouse
turds in the general vicinity within the pantry, it makes more sense.
Just using good ol' fashioned logic here.

The closer you get to all things with a magnifying glass the more
individual elements they begin to manifest. Especially with a
"natural" product I'd assume more variations that others.

The mouse didn't need to get into the bag to contaminate. The problem could
have occurred prior to the rice being bagged. Turds in rice is a known
problem. Perhaps not know to this brand but others.

I suppose it might confuse someone who has never heard of that brand. Not
sure they are available in all areas.

It is all a plot Julie. They are out to get you by putting a few mouse turds in every bag of rice.

Take a quantity of rice in one hand and use the other hand to pick out the shrivelled and broken kernels. Same with the discolored ones and so on until you have an acceptable sample. Continue on until the whole bag has been cleaned of extraneous material. Store the cleaned rice in a container with a tight lid. Problem solved and you have saved money instead of "tossing" the whole shebang.

"Tossing"...pet name for Julie's method of disposal.

I have no intention of using it. Yeah, I know there is unwanted stuff in
most of our food. But this is just too obvious. If I were truly poor, I
might have to eat it. Thankfully that's not the case.

Speaks volumes about her whole attitude to life in general (assuming
any of that story is true, that is). She seems to love needlessly
creating waste and 'tossing' things, even to the point of using
disposable plates for the daily meals.
