Foreign things in food is always shocking, once I went in for the second bite of my slice of pizza and saw a caterpillar staring at me. The last thing you expect to see when you open a can of tuna is a pair of eyes peering back at you. Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened recently to a British woman.

Opening a can of Princes tuna for her children, Zoe Butler was shocked to find something else inside:

Zoe’s question received media attention, as well as suggestions from other users about the identity of the mystery creature:

@zoelouisebutler It looks like Crab Larvae

The excuse I have been given when finding creatures in my food is “we use only the freshest ingredients and wash everything before using it but naturally something can still make it through. This is a testament to how fresh out ingredients are.” So a really young fish thingy can only prove to you that, yes this came from the ocean and is darn fresh!
