Pantry moths can arrive in all sorts of foodstuffs. We even had some in a jar of chilli flakes once.
The only way I know to get rid of them is to throw out everything that is infested, clear everything else out of the pantry and thoroughly clean the interior, with special attention to nooks and crannies. Buy some pantry moth traps (garden centres and hardware stores will have them) and put one on each shelf.
Before you return the foodstuff to the pantry check every container carefully and if there is the slightest hint of clumping, webs, caterpillars or moths throw them away.
