A woman from Okeechobee County says she and her daughter found live worms in their SpaghettiOs after eating them and is now suing Campbell Soup Co. and Walmart.
Mary Hubbard claims she and her daughter developed parasitic infections and other medical complications. The alleged incident occurred in June 2024 when she bought the SpaghettiOs at the Walmart Supercenter store located on South Parrott Avenue in Okeechobee, the complaint says.
The lawsuit seeks $50,000 in damages.

Attorneys for Hubbard said she "discovered what appeared to be worms or parasites actively moving within the food. The complaint continues, "Hubbard documented the contamination in multiple videos, which clearly depict worm-like organisms moving within the food product."
The lawsuit alleges the companies failed to properly inspect the product.
Campbell said the claims lack merit, and Walmart said it is reviewing the court filing.
