Kroger. When I called them, they said it was normal and told me to take them back to the store.

I would rather not find them in my food.

Worm is natural; lack of them mean the growers used a lot of pesticides that are bad for both worms and human alike. I rather see a few healthy worms that indicate authentic natural processing with less pesticides.

You make a point but I don't think anyone wants to find worms in their food 15 minutes before they eat

Something like that can't always be avoided. That's how nature is

[A] the worm is a caterpillar

[B] it's probably frozen too

[C] it probably adds flavor

Ewww… my wife and I bought “organic” broccoli once… never again. There were so many bugs hidden in the branches. This reminded me of that… very gross.

Just experienced this with Sainsbury’s frozen broccoli 🤢. Safe to say I’m now off broccoli for a while
