Bugs found in Harim chicken product

Odd-looking objects that a customer discovered in a Harim chicken product last week have been confirmed to be beetle larvae. 

The saga began on Oct. 27 when the customer purchased a chicken at a discount mart in Gyeonggi, according to local media reports. He later found what appeared to be a lump of fat near the chicken's neck and, when he tried to remove it, found objects that looked like bugs inside.

The buyer immediately reported the discovery to the mart and to Harim. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety immediately launched and investigation into Harim's factory in Jeongeup, South Jeolla, and found that the objects were beetle larvae.
