Jessica Chavez was making her 8-month-old son a bottle when she opened a can of baby formula to mix in. As she began to scoop powder into the bottle Chavez noticed something inside the can.

“I was scooping up some formula and then I noticed something black inside the powder,” Chavez said. She began to dig into the formula to figure out what was inside the formula can, and that is when she discovered something that made her squirm.

THE DISGUSTING DISCOVERY

“I got it out, and it was moving. That’s when I noticed it was a worm.”

"At Reckitt/Mead Johnson we take these complaints very seriously," the company said in a statement. "We received the consumer complaint, have been in touch with the consumer directly, and are moving quickly to investigate the situation.”

BABY EXPERIENCING DIARRHEA

Chavez plans to get her son tested for parasites and added that her son has been experiencing diarrhea, however, it is unclear if the compromised formula is the cause.
