''Mum, there's a MAGGOT in my noodles!'' Girl aged 9 shocked at creepy crawly find

A nine-year-old girl has been put off noodles for life after finding a MAGGOT floating in her favourite s



nack.

Malika Carrington had heated up her dish in the microwave and was about to take her first spoonful when she spotted the creepy crawly.

Her mother Keisha, 28, from Longsight in Manchester, was horrified after the grubby discovery and says her daughter will never eat noodles again.

Grub's up: Keisha Carrington was horrified when her daughter discovered a maggot

She said: "I couldn't believe it when Malika showed me. She didn't realise what it was initially but I could see it was as maggot straight away.

"I was fuming. All I could think was how on earth did it get in there? It was so disgusting.

"Thank goodness she didn't eat it."

Keisha had bought the dried, own-brand noodles from Asda around two weeks ago.

Put off: Malika says she will never eat noodles again

When she complained, the supermarket offered to reimburse her 50p for the incident - 25p for the faulty packet plus an extra 25p for goodwill.

The mum-of-two added: "Normally my kids love noodles for a quick snack.

"But finding a dead maggot inher bowl was enough to put my daughter off noodles for life.

"I complained to Asda and they have asked me to take the packet and maggot back to the store so they can see what happened.

"And then they said they would give me the money back for the packet of noodles plus an extra free.

"I'm sorry but I just don't think that's good enough... It was an actual maggot.

"We don't know whether it was alive or dead because by the time we realised what it was, it had been in the microwave for eight minutes.

"I just hope they found out where it came from so it doesn't happen to someone else."

Asda have asked Keisha to return the offending maggot and noodles so they can investigate.

An Asda spokesman said: "We're very sorry for what's happened and have been in touch with Ms Carrington to ask her to return the product to store in order for us to carry out a full investigation."
