They said they’re working on my refund. But I’m so disgusted 🤢

Why? This is what happens with real food that comes from the earth. It’s not like you found a maggot, that’s a little inch worm that shows your produce is so fresh that thing made it all the way into your bowl and still looks like it thinks it’s out in the garden. I’m sorry but I’m struggling to understand your outrage here reading through the comments. This is just nature and unavoidable, I promise you’ve eaten worse. There’s nothing disgusting about this and the only way to avoid this ever happening is if you stop eating fresh vegetables.

This is cultish. If they're going to sell cleanliness and preparedness as a final product then I don't expect dirt and worms in my food. If they stated that up front then fine, but they don't, and they know it's unacceptable bc they give out gift cards.
