Comments & ID Thoughts
Initial guess was Metazydia Zilloides (my spelling may be off). However, there are notable differences.
Two were found, only one photographed. Both found on a bag of brown sugar in a pantry closet, and fell to the floor when the bag was handled. The larger of the two specimens was roughly the size of the tip of a finger, the smaller was maybe the size of a fingernail. Primary coloration being beige/grey and red.

Upon further inspection, it’s most likely Parasteatoda tepidariorum….
This is a red house spider not steatoda… harmless
Common names are not useful in identification of species, nor am I concerned about any potential dangers. I am aware that it is harmless.
