A South African TikToker, @kerrynmiafelton, recently sent shockwaves across the internet after posting a video revealing a disturbing find: live maggots nestled inside chocolate bars she purchased.
In her video dated December 31, 2025, she recounted her alarming experience, explaining that this was the second time she had encountered maggots in her chocolate. With a warning for fellow candy lovers, she urged everyone to thoroughly check both sides of chocolate wrappers before indulging. She provocatively wondered how many people might have unknowingly consumed maggots!
"Check your chocolate on both sides before eating! How many maggots have been eaten unknowingly...."
The video showcased not one, but two different chocolate bars—one dark chocolate and one milk chocolate—both of which featured live maggots visible to the camera. The grim sight of the wriggling critters and residue made it clear they had been inside the wrappers for some time.
Speculation arose among viewers about where the chocolates had been purchased, as details were scant. Many believed the problem might stem from the store rather than the brands themselves, especially since she mentioned obtaining chocolates from the same location on multiple occasions.
Social Media Reactions Pour In
Her post quickly went viral, attracting a flood of comments from South Africans expressing their disgust and fear. Some users pleaded for the name of the store, while others shared their experiences.
@mckenns_h asked: "I need to know which chocolates these were, please 😩"
@Taniel Louwina Walker said: "I'll never eat chocolate again in the dark."
@BjornA explained: "Probably from the same store. Looks like gnats. They are months and lay eggs, the eggs hatch and the worms are what you see."
@user3104154944257 warned: "Pantry moths!!! Do not buy anything else from that shop… Those webs, eggs & worms will be in EVERYTHING, and you can NEVER get them out of your house! Such a mission."
