A shopper posted on social media several photos of maggots in a container of eggs she bought, saying she was doing so in the hopes of “Raising awareness to all people buying eggs from supermarket.”
In a post on the COMPLAINT SINGAPORE Facebook page on Sunday (Nov 20), Ms Leona Ysh showed that the best-before date on the carton reads Nov 25. “Look at the amount of maggot/worms that contaminated the whole tray!” Ms Ysh wrote.
“I did not capture more photos because it was too disgusting, but all of the eggs below had the same amount of maggot/worms at each compartment. Some even had sticky substance with maggot/worms glued to the egg shell. Absolutely disgusting!”
In a comment to her post, she clarified that the maggots were all dead.
Some commenters on her post advised her to get a refund, but Ms Ysh had already thrown the package of eggs away.
Others asked the shopper about her method of storing eggs.
One asked her if she checked the eggs before she bought them.
Ms Ysh added that going forward, she will check eggs before buying them.
Others pointed out that it’s possible that one of the eggs had a crack, which would explain the presence of the maggots.
Ms Ysh also said in the comments that she already informed FairPrice Finest at Marine Parade, where she had bought the eggs, via feedback form about the incident.
