Robin Zaccheus, a Hyderabad resident, saw a live worm moving in a bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate he purchased from a shop near Ameerpet metro station on Friday.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Robin shared a video of the worm-infested chocolate bar as well as the receipt for the Rs 45 Cadbury he purchased from the Ratnadeep Retail store near the metro station.
“Found a worm crawling in Cadbury chocolate purchased at Ratnadeep Metro Ameerpet today. Is there a quality check for these near to expiry products? Who is responsible for public health hazards?, ”Robin wrote on X.
