Shocking find in supermarket grape

Her warning to parents has been shared on Facebook over 58,000 times.

A horrified mum found a dead maggot inside a grape she was about to feed her 18-month-old daughter.

Sarah Quick said she felt sick when she discovered the dark-coloured maggot and immediately contacted the bosses as UK supermarket, Asda.

However, she was simply given a £5 voucher while investigations were carried out.

She posted the images to Facebook to warn parents to double check their fruit, and the post has now been shared over 58, 000 times.

“I’d heard stories before about people finding maggots inside grapes but I’d never believed it,” she wrote.

“We always cut them up anyway but I shouted my partner to check inside them just in case as I’d seen a Facebook post by a friend who’d found one a few days earlier.”

“He called out to me, saying there was something inside it, and I thought he was joking.”

“When I saw inside it I felt sick. How many grapes have we eaten full that potentially had something in the middle of them?”

A spokesman for Asda said they’re currently investigating her complaint.
