Are they endangered?
Not yet, but tommorow is not certain.

But remember, the fuel shortages and prices are part of their "transformative change" and these are the same people who want to reduce the global population and see no issue with food shortages or.price increases. Especially if their chosen voting groups continue to be cared for.
We are not the uniparty's chosen group of obedient consumers.
Yes. Don't use plastic for long-term storage.
For both rice and beans what you want to do is par-boil and then let dry in a dehydrator. Then vacuum seal with an O2 eater in a mylar bag.
The par-boiling kills any bugs that might be in there.
They should last at least 3 years this way at room temperature, indefinitely in a freezer.
You can put a bunch of the smaller mylar bagged beans and rice in a larger plastic container if you want, make sure it's food-grade.
I gave up.
I was well on my way to become a food storage prepper, but I lost all momentum when all the info I read from "preppers" contradicted each other.
If I get hungry, I'll figure something out, or die.
I'm done trying to figure this crap out.

the dried beans you buy at the store show a shelf life "best buy" of average 3 years just in the plastic bag they sell it in.
at least most of mine did, goya brand.
i don't have a dehydrator.
i think the lesson to take from food storage is food is easy to store... there are so many different ways and only a few that might make you dead.
didn't some guy eat a chocolate cake ration he hoarded from his military service 40 years prior?
Edit: pound cake

if even the government can get it right, it is clearly going to be easy for an average person to do.
I vacuum seal rice in 2 cup portions.
White rice and dried beans store well naturally. If you put them in a mylar bag with O2 absorbers, they will age even better. I have some bags of rice which have been kept without the aforementioned bags and absorbers...in simple large food grade plastic containers...going on two years and we can't tell the difference in taste. Our preferred rice is Jasmine. Its aromatic and cooks up real well. Basmati is good , but it has a dryer texture to it. Add come coconut milk to it when cooking and it completely changes the flavor...excellent.
The only thing we froze for a week at a time was the 25lb bags of flour. Any bugs or larvae would be killed. Add a couple 02 absorbers and you are good to go.
Its pretty straight forward.
I've eaten rice that's still sitting in the original box that was fine 2 years after purchase. LOL
I just had rice for dinner that was packaged in two litter soda bottles back in November of 2012, It did not taste any different than rice that was just bought. Now I store it in mylar with o2 obsorbers.
I have wheat that was given to me by a man that was retiring and moving south, it was in metal containers with a screw top lid and he said he remembered his dad buying it and putting it away bake in the late 1950's early 60's. I had to use a pipe wrench to get the lid off but it looked and smelled fine. I ground it and made some bread, it tasted fine but did not rise well and was very dense, I don't know if it was because of the age or my poor bread making skills but it was edible and did not make anyone sick
