Moth infestation!
I love walnuts and these taste fine but as I got to the bottom of the bag (about a month after initially opening) I started to notice this stringy consistency at the bottom of the bag. Not knowing what it was I continued to pick out the walnut pieces and remove the stringy debris (which oddly continued to get worse & worse over the next few days). Then, codling moths started to appear all over the house. After doing some research I discovered that the moths lay eggs in walnuts and that's how they initially got into our house. That stringy texture - EGGS. I have never been more disgusted and have now been dealing with a codling moth infestation for over 6 months (even after removing the initial nest of eggs from the house). They have eaten my clothes. They have laid eggs everywhere. They are near impossible to get rid of. I will never bring another bag of walnuts into my house regardless of vendor or brand. Not worth the risk. Beware!
