Should You Worry About a Bigger Infestation?
Finding insect eggs doesn’t always mean there’s a full infestation — sometimes a single insect can land on food and lay eggs.
However, it’s still wise to check:
-
Kitchen cabinets
-
Pantry shelves
-
Trash bins
-
Open food bags
If you spot more signs, you may need pest control or deep cleaning of dry goods.
Final Thoughts
The tiny white particles you found are almost certainly insect eggs that were laid while the pizza was left uncovered. This means the food is no longer safe to eat and should be thrown away. Proper cleaning and a quick pantry inspection will help ensure the rest of your kitchen remains safe and pest-free.
