April 19, 2024 from the OK Kosher:

A limited amount of “Redemption” brand matzah, certified by OK Kosher, has been affected by storage insects. This occurred after it left the bakery and/or in transit (all flour is sifted and checked before baking).

Any affected matzos were immediately recalled. There is a possibility that some boxes were sold before the recall was completed.

Consumers are encouraged to check the matzah before Pesach as a precaution. OK Kosher stands behind the kosher certification of “Redemption” matzos.
