checking whole black pepper for bugs

Question:

L’Kvod Ha Rav,
when I buy whole black pepper to put in my pepper mill, shall I check it the way that’s shown for checking caraway seeds? I don’t know that it would be possible to see holes in the black pepper!
Thank you so much,
Reinharz

Answer:

Just spoke to the bug expert of the Eida Charedis. He said that whole black pepper is generally not a problem. It is praiseworthy to put them in a sieve before grinding.
