A mother from North Yorkshire has found what she described as a ‘worm’ in her Birds Eye fish fingers 

She said: ‘I discovered the worm when I opened it up for my two-year-old daughter. I cut it and opened it up, and saw the curled up green thing inside the fish sticking out. I pulled it using a fork.

‘I felt disgusted. I even lost my appetite. I was also shocked because I trusted Birds Eye. We loved fish fingers from Birds Eye, but we won’t be buying this product anymore.’

Rona shared a video of what she claimed was a worm on the edge of her daughter’s dinner plate. 

Using a fork she compared the size of the article to the width of the fork head. The frozen fish fingers apparently contain Alaska Pollock.

However, a recent study from Brazil reached a sobering conclusion when examining frozen fillets of Alaska Pollock.

Of 108 samples from 30 different brands purchased in the São Paulo region, only 18 didn’t contain any parasites.

Thankfully, parasites are killed by the process of freezing and properly cooking fish, according to the Food Standards Agency.

Rona said that she has reached out to Birds Eye but is yet to hear back from the company.

The full-time mother is now urging parents to be vigilant with the food that they serve their children.  

She said: ‘All I can say is, even though you think a product is good, it’s better to double check everything. They might have missed one parasite or worm, but finding it in your food is not very appealing to see – especially if you’re about to serve it to your kids.’

Birds Eye did not respond to a request for comment.
