I found a grub/centipede in a can of peas?

Question

I bought some peas for my bf and I opened the can and almost peed on myself. I am so disgusted by bugs. I see them and I start to itch intensely and I feel nauseas and I know its crazy BUT OH WELL. I mean, I only get like this when I walk into a web or an ant is crawling on me. I live in FL and lately I been getting ants and roaches in apartment luckily I move out this weekend!

Anyway what to do about this bug? Should I go to the press?!!! Tell them dont buy canned food from, lets say, "Shop" Mart. Ransom! Blackmail? Or just throw it away. My dad told me to call them and ask for X amount of money for me not to go to the press..ha ha lol. I think thats mean, its only a bug. HOWEVER I DO have college to pay for...

Answer 1

Save the grub and contact the food manufacturer, not the store. Give them the code that's on the can and explain what you found - they may ask you to mail them the grub.

Here's what they will probably say, "Peas are a natural agricultural product. Despite the use of modern cleaning equipment, it is not always possible to remove all foreign material - please sort and rinse our product before cooking."

The best-case scenario? A coupon for a free can of peas

Answer 6

See if you can get a refund from the market... or call the 1-800 number on the can.

Bugs and other foreign material in processed foods in nothing new and does happen, even with better processing methods, a few get through now and then.

In regards to extortion, it's illegal and if you believe in karma... you're going down the wrong path.  Also, I'm sure their lawyers will make it difficult and expensive for you to sue.

Answer 7

Just throw it in the bin.  You would not receive any money for that.  No one really cares you had a bug in your food.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Throw it away. The fact that you can't afford college is not their fault!
