1. Preserve the opened piece with whatever is left over. Preserve other packed pieces as they are (they also might contain insects - if they do - you are lucky). Preserve your invoice by which your purchased the packed food.

3. Preserve medical bills/prescripttions and get a doctor's certificate if possible that your condition was due to insects.

3. Send the stores and the manufacturer a notice through your lawyer and you can file a complaint in the consumer forum.

Your case reminds me of classic case law Donaghue vs Stevenson :)

Hi,

This is certainly a serious matter.. Contact the nearest police station to file a complaint and call the food and drugs department to get the sample from you for investigation.. also consult a doctor and get the medical report.

File a complaint with the District Consumer Forum and also lodge a complaint with the Food and Drugs Inspector.

Advised well by experts above, a complaint with Food and Drug control Inspector besides a complaint with consumer forum shall be next steps to be followed in this regard.
