I think that by WWI the hard tack came in cans so that would be the first time the hard tack (probably) wasn't infested wiith weevils. However as the original "loose" hard tack ordered for use in the US Civil War was issued more than 30 years alter in the Spanish American war there just isn't any certainty about what happened to all the 'old" hard tack.

Then there's the "D-Ration" bars......
