What you are seeing is likely grain mites. They are not really a problem, just gross. It is very rare, but occasionally a dog, if they ingest them will have a bit of an allergic reaction. Since I am not 100% sure it is grain mites I suggest you throw the food out. In the future, when you get a new bag, empty the contents into an air tight container to prevent this from happening again. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
