Adam Peaty has claimed athletes at Paris 2024 have found worms in their food as he criticised inadequate catering at the Olympic village. The six-time Olympic medallist complained about the quantity and quality of food on offer as he said it would affect the performances of athletes.

I remember having to search for worms in cauliflower and broccoli you got at the grocer back in the day. That was just how produce was. That might have changed about in the 90s.

You still get bugs in produce. Always wash produce. Broccoli can have silkworms hiding in the bulbs - especially organic or homegrown, which is difficult or impossible to clean in that case. I personally don’t buy organic broccoli because of that.

But he’s talking about finding worms in fish. Of all the food to be served with worms in it, fish is the most horrifying IMO. I hope they were dead at least.

Fresh produce usually has bugs and larvae in it, and it can be hard to entirely get rid of when you serve huge amounts. I usually buy organic produce. Being disgusted with your food just because it might seem to have been from somewhere in nature… that is such a foreign concept to me. However , if they had maggots or larvae in food that shouldn’t have it naturally, that is seriously disgusting.
