Woman left horrified after finding a wriggling worm inside her salmon filets

Though food shopping at the supermarket is supposed to be a mundane everyday activity, there have been some shoppers for whom it turned into an unexpected and unwelcome adventure.

There was the Aldi customer who found a mysterious green substance in her dip, while another customer found a shocking surprise crawling inside her broccoli. In another incident, a supermarket shopper found something quite horrific when the banana she purchase bursts to reveal a nasty shock.

In the latest such incident, a TikToker @msrachellyn shared a video of something very nasty that she spotted while shopping at Costco. Here's what happened.

Costco shopper spots this in the salmon

The video by the TikToker shows an image of what at first glance, seems like an innocuous pack of salmon. A close look reveals a worm, alive and wriggling around right on the piece of salmon, clearly visible through the transparent plastic packaging.

Reactions to the TikTok

The TikTok has generated widespread interest. It has already been viewed more than 3 million times, with viewers disgusted by the apparent lack of hygiene and sanitation measures while packaging salmon meant for human consumption.

One viewer writes,

Not eating fish ever again

Many people also informed that it is apparently normal for fish to have worms. One such comment states,

My Dad worked for Consumer & Corporate Affairs. Lots of varieties of fish have microscopic worms you can’t even see, especially cod!

However, people still highlighted how it was not acceptable for a piece of fish in the supermarket to come with worms. One person states,

As an ex fishmonger myself this is absolutely disgusting and is not normal

Even with the shocking contents of the video, some commentators did not leave the opportunity for jokes. One cheeky comment quipped about the sky-rocketing price of salmon saying,

Which is worse the worm or price?
