Oh holy shit I eat a lot of that same Trader Joe’s fig brand. I am horrified…

You'll find the same in pretty much all figs, no matter the brand. It's a thing.

Many figs will have wasps, natural figs that is. If you don't see wasps, you likely aren't looking at a real-world fig that has been polinated.

It's going to be okay, the human system can cope with a lot (both physically and mentally). This amount of unexpected stuff in the food is considered normal, in fact, even encouraged. The immune system in particular suffers when people are placed in an overly sterile environment.
