Mom found moving worms and parasites in daughter’s SpaghettiOs, lawsuit says

Key Points:

• A Florida mother, Mary Hubbard, and the father of her child have filed a lawsuit against Campbell Soup Co. and Walmart after finding moving parasites in a can of SpaghettiOs purchased at a Walmart in Okeechobee, Florida.
• Hubbard alleges she and her daughter suffered serious health issues, including parasitic infections and gastroenteritis, after consuming the contaminated product, and she provided physical evidence and video documentation of the parasites.
• The lawsuit claims Campbell’s and Walmart failed to properly inspect and process their canned foods, neglected safety measures to prevent contamination, and continued distributing the product despite risks.
• The plaintiffs are seeking $75,000 in damages, accusing the companies of negligence and violations of federal food safety laws.
• Walmart stated it is reviewing the complaint and will respond appropriately, while Campbell’s Soup Co. denied the claims, calling them without merit and pledging to vigorously defend against the allegations; the case follows a recent USDA health alert involving Campbell’s soups due to possible contamination.
