I just recently purchased some grapes from Costo (a wholesale store) and I opened them they had spiderwebs all over them, is that normal or should I definitly return them? also should I worry about being bitten or a spider outbreak in my fridge?!!! Help plz

Costco is pretty good at taking stuff back... so I'd return them or exchange them.
In regards to spiders in your fridge, the fridge may be too cold for the spider or eggs to survive. Just keep grapes tightly wrapped.

you can wash them, but I'd probably return them, especially if Costco isn't a long ways away. If it makes you feel any better, any living spiders will likely be dormant in the cold of oyur fridge

No worries, just rinse them off and be glad something can actually live on the grapes (that they aren't so poisonous that even the spiders can't live on them).
Most spiders won't bite unless you hold their mouth parts up against very thin skin.

No offense, but I wouldn't buy grapes at Costco. Anyway, I would definitely take those back!
As someone else said, on the vine that's okay and you just wash it off... but after being packaged??

You should definitely return them!!!
That's scary, since I go to Costco, too.
I remember reading that there were some black widows were found in grapes. Some lady got bit and she died! Be careful, don't take your chances and return it!

You should always wash fruits and vegetables before you eat them, but it sounds like this is a bit excessive. See if you can exchange them for another bag of grapes or get your money back.
