Mumbai, August 16: An individual who claims to have almost purchased a product uploaded a video to TikTok showing a live worm moving about within a box of wrapped salmon. The user, using the handle @msrachellyn, identified herself as Rachel Lyn and claimed to have purchased the fish from Costco before "immediately putting it back" after spotting the specimen.

By a wide margin, Rachel, 34, of Lake Wylie, South Carolina, is not the first person to discover a worm in their Costco salmon. Many news reports about unhappy customers who had similar experiences can be found in the local news reports, including one where a store manager allegedly remarked that discovering a worm or parasite on fresh fish is "normal." In 2019, a similar occurrence happened in New Rochelle, New York.
A man in the checkout queue at the supermarket observed something writhing on the packed salmon being purchased by the woman in front of him before realising it was a worm, according to WPIX in New York City. The Costco store manager, however, allegedly stated that "it was pretty normal that salmon had a worm or parasite."
