Mum's warning after girl, 7, starts screaming during family BBQ

A mum claims her daughter was left vomiting and "traumatised" after eating a Dairylea Lunchables snack and finding it was "writhing with maggots".

Rachel Stone and her husband John Stone, 44, bought seven-year-old Poppie a Dairylea ham and cheese Lunchables from their local Iceland branch over the Easter weekend. The 39-year-old mum says the family had been enjoying a BBQ when they heard Poppie scream that she had "worms" in her food before throwing up.

After rushing over to inspect the leftover meat, the parents were horrified to find maggots in the container and crawling over the remaining slices of ham. Rachel, a holiday let manager, complained to Iceland and product manufacturer Mondelez International but claims both parties refused to accept responsibility for the issue.
