What are the tiny insects I keep finding in my sugar?

Question

For the past few weeks everytime we buy sugar (always different brands) we've been finding tiny insects about the size of a pinhead. Usually 2 or 3 crawling on top and more throughout. We check as soon as we buy it so they're not coming from our cupboard. Does anyone know what they are? or are they harmful? Is this normal or should i be complainig to someone? Although the sugar we've been buying is all different brands, i'm pretty sure they're packaged in the same place.

Thanks

Answer 1

Could be ants. It's hard to say without pics. But I do think you should complain to someone

Answer 2

My grandma always called them mealy bugs.has it only been happening since the humidity is up? That's when I remember her talking about them....keep the sugar in a container,that should help.
