Mohammed Ali, a resident of Puncha village in Bantwal taluk was in rude shock when he noticed worms emerging from biscuits in Parle 20-20 Butter Cookies packet.

He bought the 200 gram biscuit packet from a supermarket in his village on April 4 paying Rs 20. The product, packed on February 10, 2016, was well within the date of expiry, as it had a validity of six months.

The consumer has stored the biscuits as it is and urged the consumer activists to take up the matter with the local food and safety authorities and consumer court.
