A horrified mum claims her Lidl eggs were so rotten they infested her shopping bags and fridge with 'hundreds of writhing maggots' - forcing her to throw away her entire food shop. Alice Evans bought a box of six free-range eggs from the Lidl branch in Farleigh Hill, Maidstone, Kent, on Sunday 31 July, which she planned to feed to her two-year-old daughter.
But after getting home and unpacking the shopping, the 25-year-old was hit with a stench similar to 'rotting fish' coming from her fridge. Despite being well within date with almost two weeks until the use-by guideline, she says one of the eggs had cracked open to reveal rotted black contents covered in maggots.
The stay-at-home mum has shared horrifying footage showing countless larvae squirming around in the black, rotten remains of the egg and the surrounding box. After complaining to the branch manager, Alice claims she was offered a mere £12 refund towards the £60 food haul she was forced to throw away out of fear it was contaminated.
