Two questions:
What are the top food safety risks for dry grocery items?
Are pathogens a major concern with these items?

Can be; depends on what you'll use them for next really and what form they take. Chocolate is pretty "dry" but is a big Salmonella risk (the fat protects the bacteria somehow so you only need a very low dose for illness). Rice and other cereals can harbour b. cereus spores which won't be an issue until it's made wet but still it's there.
Otherwise I would say pest control. Stored product insects can be a real pain.

Dear Megan,
Not entirely sure what "dry grocery items" means but one answer to yr question would be to have a look at the recall records for any appropriate items. I believe this data is voluminous and readily accessible in USA.
