Mum's Horror as '100 Maggots' Burst Out of John West Tuna Can Bought at Asda

  • Bethany Bryson from Edinburgh opened a John West tuna can bought at Asda last month, releasing over 100 maggots that startled her in her kitchen.
  • The incident happened because the packaging was compromised during handling and transportation, which broke the seal and permitted contamination from the environment.
  • John West and Asda apologized, removed affected batch products, and offered Bethany vouchers of £10, £20, and £5, though she found the offers insufficient given the experience.
  • Bethany expressed shock and disgust, saying maggots 'literally flew at me' and that the situation made her skin crawl, while John West stated no living animal survives their sterilization process.
  • John West is working with suppliers and logistics partners to prevent recurrence, emphasizing consumer safety and product quality, while Asda reported no similar complaints and acted promptly.
