Mother claims to have found live worm in child's Capri Sun juice drink pouch

A Michigan woman claims to have sucked up what appears to be a wiggling white worm when taking a sip of her son's packaged juice drink. Emmie Field of Livingston County's Howell Township usually takes the first sips of her son Carter’s Capri Sun drink because at 18 months, he has a tendency to spill it when it’s full.



She’s never been more glad about that than last week, when she sucked up what appears to be a white worm through the thin yellow straw. “I spit it out in the sink,” she said. “There wasn’t enough mouthwash in the world to get the feeling out of my mouth.” Field said when she called the company, representatives tried to pass off the worm as mould, but she said, “Mould doesn’t have a head like this or wiggle.”

She said she purchased the drink from the Walmart in Fowlerville. Carter and her 4-year-old daughter had already consumed two other pouches out of the same package as well as all of the pouches in a separate box purchased the same date. “Of course I called the doctor and asked if this is something I need to be worried about,” she said.

“The doctor said they should be fine unless they start puking.” Field said she doesn’t purchase the drink for its wholesome properties. “Honestly, that stuff doesn’t cross my mind,” she said. “It’s just cheap, and they come in a pack that’s good for travelling.” Laboratory officials contracted by Kraft Foods are set to test the worm.
