A “whole kampung” of cockroaches was allegedly found by a Reddit user inside a bag of fish at a Korean mart in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
User balistafear shared the video on the platform on Saturday (3 August), which immediately caught the attention of concerned netizens.
They demanded the user to reveal the location of the cockroach-infested bag of fish, as the user initially withheld it.
Another user claimed the store in question was Galaxy Korean Mart in Galaxy Mall in Ampang, which the OP confirmed.
According to the post, Balistafear went to a shop in KL earlier that day when the user saw the kampung of cockroaches.
The camera showed the chiller containing food and drinks before zooming in on the bag of fish at the very end.
However, besides dried fish, a number of live cockroaches inside the bag can also be seen moving around in the bag.
Notably, the plastic bag also had a hole in it that was seemingly made by an insect.
The OP shared in a comment that, at the time, they could not believe what they were seeing and were “stunned” by the discovery.
Netizens were appalled at the sight, with many pointing out that there was a whole colony of cockroaches inside the bag.
Some commenters told the OP to report it to the Ministry of Health as “people could get sick and die” from the food safety breach.
One user asked if the staff were aware of the situation, to which the OP replied, “The staff was next to the aisle, he saw me and left as I was walking along there.”
However, a few jokingly quipped that the cockroaches are just “extra protein”.
