Others suggested that consumers should inspect expiry dates before buying packaged food products.
“Must check expired date before buy,” another user wrote.
However, the woman dismissed the suggestion, questioning its relevance and replying: “Excuse me, how is August 2026 expired?”
Another social media user also claimed to have experienced a similar incident involving a snack purchased from a supermarket.
“This happened to me too. I bought it from the supermarket, but the worm was slightly longer and light brown in colour,” the commenter claimed.
The authenticity of the claims and the circumstances surrounding the alleged incident have not been independently verified.
