what should you do if you purchase food from a store and you find maggots in them?


Question:
And you acidentally consume them? It was a box of hot coaco.
My sister started crying when she found out she just drank maggots in her coaco. They were in every envlope and she had about 4 cups already.

Answers:
Call the county health department for your county.

Other Answers:
Whatever you do, dont tell anyone or they wil be out of them next week.
Take her to the hospital immediately.
that sounds like a lawsuit, talk with your lawyer
sue them
try to call the company that made the cocoa, and explain what happened. then maybe call the poison control? im sorry if it isnt helpful. after all, im only 13
complain and get some money out of them for giving you rotten food
pretty nasty but make a cup and take it to the owner of the store and tell them that you appreciate them having fresh selections all the time and that you made them a coaco because you are so satisfied with them
they're not maggots just mealy bugs.
Take your sister to the hospital, just to make sure she doesn't get some sort of parasite, etc. As for the store, you can report them and if you still have the packets, take them in and show them and get your money back.
ask for manger of store file a lawsuit! also call health inspector on them and save your receipt for your own protection
Call the Health Department and sue the store's @$$ off!!
go to hospital! retard didn't you see the freaking worms??
..SUE THEM PEOPLES!
I'd return the food to the store, write a nasty letter to the food company that made the coccoa, and complain to the local health department.

As for treating your daughter, aside from the trauma of being "grossed-out" she should be fine.

Some people actually eat maggots on purpose.

Hope this helps.
SUE them!! then go to the hospital to check to see if ur sister is alright
puke then call the health department and the store
If you still have the box with the UPC code, call the company and tell them your problem. They will help you and sometimes send you coupons so you don't stir away from their business. You can also take the box with what is leftover to the store where you bought them, tell them what happen. If you have the receipt with you it will help the most. The most they will do is give you a refund. For future purchases check the expiration date or if the box is damage. Sorry to hear you had such a nasty experience.
Go to the emergency room and then sue the company!
Your sister will live. You need to call the store immed. and let them know about the situation. Then, you can call the manufacturer of the cocoa. Most likely, the store mgr. will pull the product and contact the manufacturing company as well. You will probably get calls from quality control etc. so be prepared. They will do ANYTHING to prevent a lawsuit!
if you still have the box of hot cocoa with the maggots inside, go to the store and show the manager, try first to resolve the situation at the store, they might have some policies about how they conduct things in a situation like this..do it calm and polite, explain to him exactly what happened and don't forget to reminds him, there's charges for sell products with expiration's date expired.its actually illegal not only to sell products expired, but also put available to sell, even thou it didn't get sold.
Take it back to the store and report them to the health dept. The bugs won't hurt you. In some African countries they are part of the diet.
First thing first get to a doctor ASAP! Then get a camcorder an document the evidence. Next round up your witnesses. Third call the Board of Health. Fourth, contact the best lawyer you can to get the max allowed in your state. Then sit back and wait on your money and then buy the company.
You 'discreetly' inform the store manager or owner. They are not in the business of selling maggots. They will take charge and inform other stores also. All packages will be pulled, not just those in the one particular store. From there, the distributors, back to the plant where the product was made will be notified and they will in turn, pull products. You don't run off to a frickin' lawyer and collect easy money. I'd also be asking myself how it is possible for the maggots to have survived being package for so long. They have died because of lack of oxygen.then too, if they did survive that, you'd have thought they'd have hatched by the time you opened the envelopes. 'Course, the packaging could have holes in it.just like this story.
