A man posted a video on Instagram showing him breaking open a piece of Kellogg's chocolate and discovering an insect inside. In the video, he shatters a piece, revealing a tiny white-colored bug inside. His video also received a response from the company.
“Extra protein, Ayakya? [Did I get extra protein]” an Instagram user wrote while sharing the video. The clip begins with him taking out a bowl of cereal, cracking it open, and finding white bugs inside. After that, he continues to do the same with several more works. Toward the end of the video, you can see pieces of crushed cereal with a small white bug kept next to it.
While replying to a comment on his post, the Instagram user also explained why he decided to break up the pieces and investigate. He said her sister told him her cereal didn't taste good. He decides to check the box and notices that there is a bug inside. He then captured the video. The man also explained that the product was not near its expiration date and had been stored in a cool place.
