The issue of foreign objects in packaged foods has become a routine concern. Following reports of a human finger found in ice cream and a cockroach in an IRCTC meal, a user on X has now claimed to have discovered a “worm-like insect” in Cadbury chocolate. The report was shared by Akshay Jain, Chairman of the Maharashtra Pradesh Youth Congress Media Cell, on his social media handle.
Jain wrote, “Found a worm-like insect in my Cadbury Temptation Rum! I’ve been a loyal customer for years, but this is the worst experience ever. Highly disappointed @CadburyWorld please address this!” In a follow-up tweet, he added, “Very poor customer support! Worst experience ever.”
