If I were you, I would try to get some professional help.

Get a lawyer, get someone with some experience and can help.

YES! No reason not to take action here. Imagine consuming a worm because the company failed to maintain its level of hygiene.

Imagine consuming a worm
Do you realize that you've unintentionally eaten many insects before in your life? It's not that big of a deal tbh. The company won't give you millions of dollars. at most they'll give you a few coupons or refund the candy bar.

On a different note, I remember back in the day I was eating apple cinnamon oatmeal and I found a worm crawling around in it. It was weird, but in the end I just took the worm out and ate the rest of my oatmeal cautiously.

Of course i don't expect much monetary compensation but this is definitely the company's fault. And yes I know everyone has unconsciously eaten some bugs before. Well some things cant be avoided, but when you happen to stumble on an incident like this why wouldn't you take action.

Well. thank you for making me weary of any candy bars. Probably won't be eating a chocolate bar until I forget this blog or anything to do with candy, bar or worm.

Anyways, if you know a lawyer that will talk to you for free, I'd ask him. Some lawyers will see your case free of charge by the chance that they see some money to be made from it. And when I say some, i mean a few lol. everyone wants some money in today's economy.

I think some worms may be able to chew through the plastic or a bug of some sort could have flown in,chewed through the plastic and then laid eggs. . This can be the cause of a worm in your food. May be from bad storage or could have happened in Australia or something. I've had this before and it chewed through 3 boxes of ritz and other stuff.

The effort you will go through to see any sort of compensation will be larger than the compensation you will receive. Things like this just happen. You're better off just throwing it away and forgetting it ever happened.

How the hell could you tell if there were holes in a torn wrapper? They could've been right at the seams of the tear.

Usually when something like this happens (e.g. a geckon in a can with pineapple) people go public with this. It hurts the company, warns others and you don't need to waste time suing with uncertain results etc. You don't get any money tho.

What company?

My thoughts

1. Monetary compensation or some form of restitution is most definitely in order
2. This is because the company fucked up majorly in their product's quality control (or lack thereof)
3. Due to the inferior quality of the product, your mother was in grief and this event could have been completely prevented if they had better health safety inspections
4. This may not just be an isolated case, but a batch of the nougat bars could potentially have been worm infested. This isn't just a "gross" issue, but it could be a serious health hazard and should be treated as such.
5. Don't let other people tell you otherwise, this is a big deal and you should be outraged as a citizen and consumer and should protect your rights to the full extent of the law
6. I would probably go in for a free 30 minute consultation with a law firm that specializes in this type of situation and follow their advice
7. If the firms dismiss your situation, then just contact them and threaten to go public on them

** In the meantime, document everything, time of discovery, product code and the barcode, pix of the worm, pix of the wrapper with no holes, so on and so forth **

Where is the big deal?

There was probably an egg somewhere in the ingredients... Shit happens.
As far as "we" know it was just 1 Worm in 1 Bar.. Nothing more.

The worst thing that could have happened was someone eating the Worm... Big Deal...


I hate people that sue for shit like this, they make this world worse.

Haven't any of you eaten almonds before? Usually when they're no longer green, you will find many worms depending on how much care has been put into protecting them. The worm can stay alive inside the almond, what makes you think it will die if there isn't enough air? It needs very little oxygen to live. Anyway, I think insect larvae cannot bite through the chocolate bar's wrapping, it isn't soft, and it isn't solid, it is slippery and it stretches, so surely the larvae came from the fruit. Take a look at thishttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080215015327AAPSZU8.

This explains the weird taste I used to get in a certain bite from a chocolate bar
