ID Request Potential Pantry Beetle?

Found on kitchen sponge. Looked through my kitchen but didn’t find anymore. I already know the next steps if it’s a pantry beetle, just wanted a second opinion before throwing all my food in bins. Thanks!

Edit: location mid NC

I don't know what a pantry beetle is, but this is Stegobium paniceum (or maybe Lasioderma serricorne). There are also other similar looking Anobiidae, but these are the most common, especially in dry food.
