I’m sorry, I don’t think I was so clear. Obviously if you’re buying “dried goods” as you clearly state in your post, I’m not suggesting that you buy fresh ones, I meant that you should try to get newly produced ones, check the dates of production and/or last date of use to compare and get the most recently produced ones. Also definitely check inside of packages to see if there are traces of bugs being present in the package. As suggested, Rav Vaye has books on this subject that do a good job illustrating the various concerns.
