are they moth-y or beetle-y?
my dad has been having a problem with food moths. you can get them inside bought packs of dry food like rice, then they get out and take up residence in your cupboard. Indian Meal Moth, I believe. they move like a cross between a moth and a fly. I've killed a flying one and about 10 caterpillar/maggot things tonight, but numbers are down from the summer since he's been keeping stuff in boxes and in the fridge. apparently freezing kills the eggs/pupae so if you suspect something you could put it in the freezer for a few days.
ah, a good ol' weevil...
like the moths, they're not hazardous to eat, if you do find some in your pasta or rice just wash them out. hot water will kill them and they'll float.
