Woman's sickening discovery inside Woolworths chicken - after feeding her children
A young mother has expressed her horror after finding what appear to be maggots in Woolworths chicken that she had just fed to her children.
Adele Kate said she had just picked up what she believed to be a “fresh” barbecued chicken from the store in Morphett Vale on Sunday afternoon.
After cutting the meat up for her children, the Adelaide mother noticed something crawling through the meat.
“I fed my children this before I found the centre,” she captioned a Facebook video showing the maggots wriggling through the chicken.
Facebook users expressed their own disgust at the sight, questioning how the supermarket giant allowed the incident to happen.
“That is absolutely disgusting!!! You poor thing! Fairly sure this has put me off meat for life,” one woman wrote.
“Omg no way, gross… I’m traumatised,” another wrote.
Amongst the thread of disgusted Facebook comments was a reply from Woolworths saying they were “very concerned”.
A Woolworths spokesperson told Yahoo7 News they were investigating the claims and that they take their food safety very seriously.
“We follow rigorous food preparation and safety standards across all of our stores,” they said.
“We’re currently in touch with the customer and will be looking into the claim.”
