Woman shocked to find maggots in bag of potatoes from Woolworths
Woolworths has been blasted online after a customer posted a photograph appearing to show rotten juice oozing out of a maggot-infested bag of potatoes.
The Perth woman posted images of the off potatoes to Facebook on Thursday night, a few days after she bought them.
'Bought this bag of potatoes on Sunday and now my pantry smells absolutely disgusting of rotting potatoes!,' she captioned the image.

The woman posted a photo of the bag of potatoes in the bin and mentioned that this is not the first time something like this has happened to her
'Woolworths are NOT the fresh food people...there are maggots,' she added.
'I've had mouldy strawberries before, and potatoes, and sweet potatoes with black spots in the middle.
