Tiny beetles have been found in chicken noodle soup eaten by possibly 150 students at their schools in Papillion-La Vista. Spokeswoman Annette Eyman says dozens of children could have eaten some of the soup on Wednesday before school officials discovered the problem and stopped serving it. The soup was prepared at a district high school and delivered to nine district schools and a local parochial school. The bugs were sawtooth grain beetles, which Eyman says are common and not harmful if consumed. School workers discovered live beetles in some packages of noodles used for the recipe. The district will return leftover noodles to the distributor, sanitize their kitchens and email the children's parents.
