If you got mishloach manos with a mesh bag with loose nuts inside, would you eat them or be grossed out and toss them? Im asking fro kashrus and gross factor, not if you would toss for allergy or other reasons
These are not for close friends but for teachers, coworkers etc.
I live in Brooklyn for reference

Why would this gross you out? Seems like an extreme reaction.

I would eat it.

I don't eat things that are floating around loosely on the bottom of a bag. But definitely packaged in a cute bag is fine.

I don't usually get mishloach manos from people who I don't eat in their house. The only reason I wouldn't eat it is if I got them from someone who I don't trust their kashrus.

To all who says they would toss: I hope you don't put in any effort when preparing your MM. I hope you are all very well off financially.
Just as you throw the MM you have received, your recipients might do the same.
Your grandparents who survived the Holocaust are probably rotating in their graves when they see how their grandchildren have turned into such spoiled brats.
I wish I could macically send you off for a few days to the camps where Ukrainian refuges are staying.
It would sober you up and cure you from your germ fobia that only exists in your head.

Shame. On. You.
Your attitude makes me sick.

While this is a a bit of an extreme post, I agree with you!
I can’t believe all the ‘tossers’ here.
I would eat it. I don’t get that many MM & the people who do send me- I know they put hard work, effort, money into their MM, as do I!
Toss, toss, toss…. As if , nothing !
That’s what I took from most of this thread.
