INCREDIBLE DISCOVERY
It’s the kind of discovery that makes you regret every bite. A landscaper from Toulouse had a very unpleasant experience on October 15, when he thought he was taking a well-deserved lunch break. Looking for a quick meal, he bought a can of “American tuna salad” at the Aldi supermarket in Toulouse.
THE TASTE OF FERMENTATION
After a few bites, something strange caught his attention: the taste of fermentation. Curious, he looked closely at his plate and made an unappetizing discovery. “My attention was drawn to a suspicious movement at the bottom of the jar,” he told La Dépêche du Midi. What was the result of his discovery? An unfortunate accident that would ruin anyone’s appetite.
HE STARTED TO VOMIT
Before his eyes, two small white worms moved carelessly among the corn, tuna, and tomato seeds. “I had to swallow it,” the disgusted Toulouse resident complained, sharing a video on social media. He added: “My first reaction was to vomit. I vomited what I had eaten from the box.”
ALDI WARNED
He and his colleague immediately stopped eating and rushed to Aldi to report the incident. “They wanted to refund me, but it’s not a problem. Apparently, no one knows if it was only in my box or in others. It’s worrying,” he said.
WORRIED MAN
Immediately after leaving the Aldi store, Julien panicked and dialed the emergency number. “I was afraid of getting sick, I needed explanations on the procedure to follow. I remembered the recent cases of botulism, it’s causing panic,” he shared. As a reminder, last month, five people were in intensive care in Tours with suspected botulism after eating wild garlic pesto from the Ô Ptits Oignons brand.
