Food safety scare after live insects found in convenience store meals
Food safety scare after live insects found in convenience store meals
2026-05-25
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.

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.

2026-05-25
外食族圖方便，常會到超商購買微波食品或沙拉，但密封包裝竟然也藏著危機！有民眾買了鮭魚沙拉，吃到最後一口才發現底部醬汁，有活蟲在蠕動；無獨有偶，另一位陳同學買了香蒜奶油義大利麵，一攪拌更驚見好幾隻小蟲在麵條裡亂竄、甚至爬到手上。超商品管連連出包，讓消費者直呼太噁心。
到超商購買的鮭魚沙拉，吃到最後一口，仔細看，底部醬汁，竟然有隻彎曲的蟲不停蠕動。
“好可怕喔，不要給我看啦，我有潔癖，看到就吐了啊”
“會害怕，就不敢吃啊”
網友也嚇得當場吐出，事後打去門市反映，店家說要把沙拉回收，以新品補償，但受的驚嚇，讓這名女子實在無法接受，貼文曝光，不少人直呼太扯，也有人解答那隻其實是蒼蠅的幼蟲，蛆!另一款香蒜奶油雙拼義大利麵也出了問題。

“吃的時候在攪拌，就發現有很多蟲在動，就是蠻噁心的，因為那個蟲，已經爬到我手上了，9點多，我打電話回去，他(店家)給我的回饋蠻輕浮的，就直接退款給你這樣”
麵條裡，好幾隻小蟲不停亂竄，甚至還爬到手上，讓這位陳同學嚇傻，立刻丟掉。
[[民眾]]
“希望說這個商家，他自己可以檢討改善，那不要再讓消費者，能夠吃到這種有問題的東西”
原以為超商密封的微波食品，方便快速，品質也有保障，但沒想到，蟲蟲依舊無孔不入，消費者食用前還是得小心檢視。
