As I was unwrapping the packet, I noticed it. It was folded into the wrapping.
I took it back, in a polythene bag, still very much alive.
The girl at customer services was young, and very proper; she didn't say sorry, but asked me what I wanted to do about it, apart from being given a new bag of flour.
I pointed out ( politely) that I had been making cauliflour cheese, so had wasted all my ingredients, - butter, cheese, milk ( organic.....) but the main pint was that I wanted to know where the maggot had come from, because I thought they were usually around meat/cheese, not dry goods.
She kept saying- "there are things you can get in flour"
"- Yes- weevils, but not maggots" I said.
Anyway, she said she could give me £10 "goodwill" for my ingredients and that would be the end of it, or she could send it off to see it's origin ( not sure how on earth they can do that)
I opted for the sending off option; i would like to know whereb the flour was in Sainsburys, or a depot or whatevr, that a live maggot can get into it.
Gave my name, address, phone etc, and have heard NOTHING. It was three weeks ago I think, at least.
I'm about to check the dates and ring them, because I'm not impressed.....
