Snowflake Semolina - Definitely does not live up to its slogan

I had purchased the wheat semolina on the 17th of March 2025 at Townsquare Spar in Richards Bay. I had stored the sealed packet in my fridge to use on Thursday night however when I had opened the sealed packet last night I did not notice anything but after adding the second cup of wheat semolina to my pot there was a dead moth in my semolina. I checked the packet and found a worm and eggs as well. To me this looks like it had come from the factory like this.

This is very disgusting and disappointing for such a well known brand. If I had not put the second cup of semolina in my pot I would have never known that the packet was contaminated!! I was going to use this semolina to prepare a dessert for my family. If we had consumed this contaminated semolina we would have ended up very sick and most probably in hospital.

I do not understand how a renowned brand like Snowflake can even send out a product like this from their factory. I have always purchased snowflake products but I now have to think twice before doing so in future. This is honestly very disgusting for such a huge brand. Your product definitely does not live up to your slogan "to fresh to flop"! It's honestly very sad. I had emailed the customer care and they had asked for my contact number but has not contacted me since. Pathetic customer service!

Good day snowflake

The customer service you guys provide is really pathetic. I had an agent who called me a week ago at 12h00 during the day. I had asked her to contact me after 4pm as I was at work and busy. I have since not received any emails or calls regarding my query. The level of service is really disappointing!
