Usually I look at the product before I put it in either my mouth or my dog’s mouth. Sometimes I give it the sniff test. I’ve had many incidents over my lifetime where the food was spoiled when purchased at the store. Moldy bread, moldy cheese and sour milk are the most frequent. An odball apropos to this thread is when I bought a sealed box of oatmeal at a regular supermarket a little over a year ago. It sat on my shelf for about 2 weeks before I opened it to make oatmeal. The box was infested with hatching moths and larvae. I immediately snapped the lid on the box and walked it outdoors where the temperature was in the 20s, then went inside and killed the few moths that escaped.

I didn’t sue, and I didn’t even bother wasting my time bringing the product back to the store. But I stopped patronizing that supermarket for a while.

By the way, ingesting a moth laden Peppermint Patty probably would not make you physically sick as in catching an infectious disease. One may have a reflex urge to vomit though.
