What was meant to be a quiet Monday dinner turned into a nightmare for Eric and his family, residents of Stockholm. As they were about to eat the catfish they had purchased at the Hemköp supermarket in Torsplan, they discovered to their horror that the fish contained live worms moving through the flesh.
Eric’s reaction was immediate: “I felt like throwing up or drinking an entire bottle of tequila. Or both at the same time,” he described, reflecting the disgust felt by the whole family over what they found on their plate.
The discovery has raised questions about quality controls in the fresh fish distribution chain, a product that requires strict storage conditions to guarantee food safety for consumers.
