The maggots were exposed by Whole Foods employee Marc Melancon, who claimed to have seen over 40 maggots in a meat case.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17">[16]</a></sup> The Whole Foods store claimed that they only found one wriggly fly larva in the display case, the Health Department confirmed what everyone already knows: If you see one maggot, there are more somewhere and ordered the meat department to completely clean all the floor sinks and drains, which may have been the source of the problem. </p><p>While the presence of maggots is disturbing, even worse was that the Whole Foods store was aware of the infestation and continued to sell the meat for 7 hours after the maggots were discovered. In a later interview, Mr. Melancon admitted that he now feels bad he continued to sell the meat to customers, knowing that there were maggots in it.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18">[17]</a></sup> But hey, maggots and rotten meat are a very natural thing of life.
