Maggots in fucking milk, what the fuck. I've def. found bugs in packaged food ranging from candy bars to packaged sandwiches.
It's always exciting.

Maggots in my Walmart Milk
- Thread starter dmnEPC
- Start date
I buy 20 pound bags of brown rice at the Asian market and once there was a FUCK TON of bugs in a bag. It was a problem with a shipment of a particular brand because as soon as I walked up to customer service with the bag they said yeah sorry about that, go grab another bag of any brand you want.
I live in New England and cod is pretty easy to come by around here. I've eaten a lot of it through the years. I'd notice that sometimes the cod fillets had dense veins in them but thought nothing of it and ate them just like with chicken veins.
In the last 5-6 years, I've started to do a lot of saltwater fishing. Last year I got invited on a cod trip. Steaming home, we're filleting the fish. The guy who invited me go, "When you get home, hold them up to the light and you'll be able to get the worms out easier." Turns out those "veins" were really parasitic worms that are in just about all the cod you can get up here. They are completely harmless to humans, but fuck that.
I've been at the fish market since and noticed fillets there with the parasites in them.
I don't eat that shit any more.
Fucking disgusting. That is why you need the powdered shit. Take regular milk & add powdered chocolate goodness to it = win.
Well let's look at this realistically. Maggots only eat decaying flesh/protein matter.
Hence: The stuff in the garbage can was starting to rot. Someone forgot to take it out for X number of days. If there were maggots in the milk they were not the worst of the problem with the milk.
As far as other creepy crawly things in your food, I guess none of you have ever grown a veggie garden.

Can of Lysol and a bic lighter -- flame thrower city dude.
WD 40 would probably work too -- I hunt bee covered hives in the daytime around my house with that shit. It drops em in midair.
Hey I like interesting sports.
See my other post..
Chocolate will not rot. Milk on the other hand will spoil if not kept at the proper temperature from origin to your table. That is most likely the cause if indeed flys had access to the milk ( open container).
You hit the nail right on the head. I live in the dairy state and have yet to see a Walmart Farm, or a Walmart dairy. They buy from the same local dairy that your grocery store, convenience store or any other local store buys from and slaps their own label on it. Most people don't realize but most of the generic foods (and other products) are made in the same factory on the same line and they just slap a different label on it.
lol if you're buying major brands it won't make a difference where you shop, it's all the same, just go where you pay less. there's no shame in shopping at Wally world.
That you know about. Maybe you're eating too fast.
I've done a ton of research on the supply chain in the food space - farm to shelf. There are lots of tracking protocols, and these days, it's complex stuff. Obviously, maggots in the any foodstuff or liquid is an anomaly. But it happens.
And it doesn't matter where you buy food.
My dad got an apple pie from wawa, you know the small ones, and took a bite into it and there was half a cockroach (pretty big too) in it. Apparently he ate/spit the other half of of the cockroach. He did take pictures but I'll have to get them from him. He's not the one to make a quick buck off something dumb like this, but everyone kept insisting he call a lawyer. The lawyer said he can't sue or anything since he didn't go the hospital. All he did was throw up.
If you buy food from a market/store you're consuming SOMETHING unsavory at some point. No biggie, just builds up the immune system.
Please turn in your man card.
Pro tip: maggots are excellent fish bait. And, stepping on them will kill them faster than dog shampoo.
Been lucky and haven't ever found critters in purchased food. My wife would absolutely lose her shit, so hopefully we keep this streak going.
