Grabbing a quick meal from the convenience store can be a godsend when you’re busy. But be careful—even sealed store-bought meals could pose a risk. One customer was about to finish her salmon salad when she realized a live maggot crawling in the dressing at the bottom of the container. Someone else found a bunch of tiny insects scurrying around her pasta meal. One even climbed onto her hand! With quality control appearing to slip lately, customers are sounding the alarm.

There’s only one bite left of this salmon salad from a convenience store. But if you take a closer look, right there in the dressing on the bottom is a wriggling maggot.

- That’s terrifying! Don’t show me. I’m a total germophobe. I’d throw up just looking at it.

- It’s disgusting. There’s no way I’d eat it.

The customer was so repulsed she spat her food out on the spot. She called the store to report the incident, which offered her compensation and asked to take the meal back. Still reeling from the shock, she took to social media as a warning. The commenters were also disgusted, and identified the creature as a fly larvae. But that’s not all. Elsewhere, another customer found a similar problem with her garlic cream pasta.

Voice of Ms. Chen
Customer
When I was mixing it up to eat, I noticed a bunch of tiny bugs moving around. It was incredibly gross. One of them even crawled onto my hand. I called the store a bit after 9, but their response was pretty dismissive. They just said they’d give a refund.

After seeing a bunch of tiny bugs writhing around on the pasta and even climbing onto her hand, the shocked customer threw the meal away immediately.

Hoping for improvement
I really hope the store takes a good hard look at itself and improves. They shouldn’t allow customers to eat problematic food like this ever again.

We can usually count on packaged store-bought meals to be quick, easy, and above all, safe. But that’s not always the case. Pests have a way of getting in where they aren’t welcome, so you should always look carefully before digging in.
