Hello this is my first post on this site.
Due to past bad experiences with buying bags of flour that arrived with weevils, I have for years bought Homepride flour in tubs. I've never had weevils in the tubs.
However this morning's Ocado order of a 1kg tub of Homepride plain flour had been replaced by a 1.5kg paper bag of Homepride plain flour. This wasn't a substitute in Ocado's terms; just a change of product from what is still shown on the Ocado website.
A search of the Homepride website shows that they're now done away with tubs in favour of saving the company money by false greenwashing (the tubs were easily recyclable).
Please does anyone know of a company that still sells flour in tubs?
I don't want this bag of flour in the house but am reluctant to put it in the food bank should it contain weevils.
1.5kg is a waste anyway, as I only want it to make pancakes. I would have bought 500kg had it been available in a tub and only ordered the 1kg Homepride because Ocado are still advertising it as coming in a tub. The website makes a virtue of that:

I don't have an airtight container available that I could decant 1.5kg of flour into to test it.
