Sisters Say They Found Maggots In Candy Bar
POSTED: 1:55 pm EDT April 29, 2005
BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Two Boca Raton sisters said they bit into some candy bars this week and surprisingly got a good dose of protein. They said they were trying out the new candy called M-azing, but ended up getting maggots.
Monica Castanheeira said she bought some M-azing chocolate bars Tuesday night to enjoy while watching videos with her sister, Renee, and her 4-year-old neice.
Castanheeira said she took a big bite and then felt something moving in her mouth.
"I look on the table and on the chocolate, and there's a maggot walking around," she said. "It's really disgusting."
The sisters said they found maggots in each of their chocolate bars. They said they found some that were very small and crawling and others had yet to hatch.
The sisters are so sickened, they went to the emergency room. They said the child is convinced there are bugs walking around in her stomach.
"We're investigating, obviously," said Master Foods USA, the producer of the chocolate. "And we're really sorry. Maggots are a result of fly larvae and could happen in a matter of days after our products have left our factories."
"When I think about it, I still feel it on my tongue," Castanheeira said. "I can't eat chocolate no more."
Castanheeira said she bought the candy at a Shell gas station. She said all the candy is off the shelves because she went back and bought it all to see if it was infested.
A state health investigator has been assigned to the case and will check out the candy bars as well.

yuch qagh even.
100% guaranteed, bet on it if you can find a sucker.
Hey it is a high protein bar after all...
think larvae
Funny thing about them maggots...some of them grow very
large and take on the shape of...yep....mushrooms....
so be very careful....
Where do the maggots come from?...well, if they grow mushrooms
in manure, and flies lay their eggs in manure...well, guess
where they come from..
Maybe she bought it to prevent the hoax from being discovered.
I feel the "bugs" uhh.. movin' in my mouth,
I feel the sky a'tumblin'
(with apologies to Carole King)
Doesn't "Boca Raton" mean "rats' mouth" in Spanish?
Just asking.
A-Mazing?
should call it A-Movin' instead and sell it on college campuses.
Sick! I remember long ago when one of the famous cereal brands had one dead bug in the sealed bag. I was thinking to sue them but didn't had the motivation that I decided to just not to buy that brand from that day.
Guess the girls won't be buying these anytime soon:

What a big baby.
When I was five years old I found a mouse head in a can of peas that had been cooked for my dinner.
Did it traumatize me so I couldn't eat peas ever again? No.
What's she complaining about? The maggots were the only healthy thing in that bar.
Yeah, happened to me. Didn't stop me from eating the bar. I paid for it, I'm eating.
Dude, didn't you read the box? That was the special enclosed prize!
