Food safety officials are investigating the discovery of a dead larva found in a government funded school lunch in Auckland.

He said the larva has been sent away for testing and the results were expected back next week.

The lunch scheme was plagued by problems in term one, with criticism of late, inedible, repetitive or nutritionally lacking lunches, and even a case of a lunch containing melted plastic.

Is a feature not a bug.

Or maybe actually it is a bug.

larva

So most likely a maggot or a moth caterpillar? My money's on maggot.

This lunch saga was already Kafkaesque without bringing in an actual insect.
