I was about to open a fruit treat nibble stick when I saw little brown
insects crawling on the stick and in the wrapper,
it was not stored for any time here and is straight from the store. The
wrapper is still sealed though I guess there must be some air
getting in for the insects to be alive.

Any ideas on what they are?

I'm sending the fruit stick off to the manufacturers.

I daresay the rats would appreciate the insects -- I used to have
hunter/killer moth-eating rats ;-)

(I've never seen any of the others do it, but those two used to catch
moths on the wing, then eat them with every sign of enjoyment.)

i had some rats who did that too. they would grab the moth, rip the wings
off, then eat it from the head down, all in one very fast motion.
