A man has bought a sandwich in the airport in Atlanta and he only noticed that it was infested with maggots after purchasing it.

In fact, there are quite a lot of them swarming the bread in the dish, as you can observe in the photo posted above this blog post.

According to WSBTV, he was taking a flight out of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport for Miami when he came upon the meal. He bought it from Cafe Intermezzo and he initially thought that the worms were pieces of parmesan.

"What I thought was parmesan and the parmesan began to move. [...] This is not wilted tomato; this isn't a moldy piece of bread. These are maggots," he recalls.

He was offered a refund and an apology by the company president, but his only concern is for the incident not to repeat itself.
