A customer has issued a warning to other shoppers after she went to eat a hot roast chicken purchased from a Tasmanian supermarket that reportedly contained maggots.
The chicken was reportedly bought from Woolworths in Wynyard at 4:50pm from a batch prepared at 4:33pm on Wednesday afternoon.
The woman was quick to share the find in a local Facebook group, saying: “It sat completely sealed until 7pm when we opened it, started eating and found maggots all throughout the chicken.”
“If you bought one from that batch id recommend checking it thoroughly.”
It’s the second time maggots have allegedly been found in a cooked chicken purchased from different stores in the area this year.
Woolworths have apologised to the customer and say they take food quality and safety seriously and have discussed the matter with their deli team and supplier.
The supermarket claims they are not aware of any previous reports of a similar nature.
People are encouraged to report poor food hygiene or complaints to their local councils.
