A startling discovery in a packet of Kellogg¡¯s Chocos has sparked concern among consumers after an Instagram user shared a video revealing worms nestled within the chocolatey granules.
The video, posted by @cummentwala_69 on the photo-sharing platform, quickly went viral, capturing the attention of social media users.The video begins with the recorder examining a single granule of Kellogg¡¯s Chocos, humorously questioning if the company intends to provide an extra dose of protein.
Upon breaking the granule, an eerie white substance is revealed, which the uploader dismisses as "cream." Further investigation uncovers more granules with similar suspicious contents, and even the packet itself shows signs of bacterial or worm activity at the bottom.
Despite the product being well within its expiry date, as indicated by the March 2024 date on the packet's thumbnail, the Instagrammer expressed rightful concern over the unwelcome contents.
The video swiftly gained traction, prompting various reactions from users. One user recalled a similar experience from years ago, sharing their past encounter with live worms in the same product and said, "Damn I¡¯ve gotten few LIVE worms from this same sh***y product many years ago. Years ago when social media wasn¡¯t that common. The very day I stopped having chocos. Can¡¯t believe they still sell worms with these!!!"
Many users vowed to stop consuming Chocos after witnessing the video, while others discussed switching to alternative breakfast options like cornflakes.
¡°Brother I was just eating this, but now I will not eat it,¡± said another while the third quipped, ¡°That¡¯s why I switched to cornflakes. There is no space for insects in it.¡±
In response to the video, Kellogg's issued a statement expressing regret.?¡°We deeply regret the inconvenience caused to you. Our Consumer Affairs team would get in touch with you to understand your concern. Request you to inbox us your contact details,¡± the company said.
