Man Finds Maggots In Candy.

Bakerfield, California(October 3, 2007)John Madeiros purchased two packages of peanut caramel clusters at a Bakersfield 99-cent store on Ming Avenue, expecting some tasty treats. Just as he was about to take a bite, he discovered maggots swarming over the chocolate, peanut and caramel clusters.

"I grabbed one of them and put it towards my mouth not looking, and when I was ready to put it in I noticed worms crawling on it," Madeiros said.

Medeiros returned the candies to the 99-cent store and received a full refund and apology. The retailer said it is pulling the candy from its store shelves nationwide.

Standard Candy, which manufactures GooGoo Clusters, told Bakersfield station KERO-TV they are looking into the matter. Medeiros said he's relieved no one else will face a stomach-turning moment.
