Woman gags on maggots in in-flight snack

An Australian woman found a nasty surprise in her in-flight snack aboard a Qantas flight recently.

Victoria Cleven, 42, was munching on a package of trail mix from The Sydney Biscuit Company she had purchased on the flight from Los Angeles to Melbourne when she noticed something wasn't quite right.

"I started eating and thought this tastes quite strange, what am I actually eating?" Cleven told Melbourne's 7News.

"When I turned the light on and looked down I saw white stringy bits. Then I saw maggots crawling inside the pack."


Cleven posted a stomach-turning video of the incident Monday on YouTube.

"I hope they investigate this and ensure this never happens again, rather than pointing the finger at someone else," Cleven wrote on her YouTube page.

" No one should experience this. It truly still makes me sick!"

A Qantas spokeswoman told msnbc.com that the airline has apologized to Cleven for the incident and contacted the supplier of the product to investigate how this issue could have occurred

What would you do ?

Jump out with a parachute then sue.

I would stop paying $10 for a tiny bag of trail mix like everyone EXCEPT that woman obviously did.

Doubles as a barf bag.

[campimp]

sounds like someone deserves a handful of free tickets on future flights for that shit

extra protein

For flights I may be eating on (long ones), I always pre-order a vegetarian dish.

[Spunky]

Cause a scene and get thrown off like Alec Baldwin

I would sue their asses off...

[Mr Pheer]

Its normal Australian trail mix. Whats the problem?

Yuck, I decided not to watch that video. Gives you a good reason to look at your food before you eat it. I've never found anything like that, but I have found small bits of plastic and broken glass in things...

Kosher is even better - On flights from the UK at least they usually use the same supplier and the food is great...

Also a good tip if you end up in a UK hospital as well, they use the same company.

Does she want Quantas to open every bag of trail mix and inspect for maggots? This is a lightning striking type of situation.

I would finish eating. Good source of protein, maggots.

It was a free sample;) They offered her half the fair she paid (about 800 bucks from memory) as compensation.

How exactly does that prevent from bad things happening to your food? Maggots can be in veggie meals just as well.

What's the big deal? It's just extra protein in your trail mix.
