After another complaint, she eventually received a refund, but it was the thought of more contaminated meals that prompted Ms Chen to contact Jetstar headquarters the next day. "I was told I had to wait five to 10 days for a response," she said. "I didn't think that was good enough and emailed them and Jetstar Asia contacted me, wanting me to email the picture.
The airline has withdrawn the meal from its menus and apologised to her and a spokeswoman said an investigation had started. "Obviously this is an incident which has to do with our caterers," the spokeswoman said. "It's an isolated case and it's highly unlikely it's a maggot. Its more likely to be a rice worm. "We are now working with suppliers to replace any rice batches and look through the production process to ensure this doesn't happen again. The dish won't be returned until they have gone through all that safety insurance work." Professor Ian Dadour, director of Forensic Entomologist Centre at University of Western Australia, said he was unable to determine exactly what species the larvae was. But he confirmed it was a beetle larvae. "If it was packaged in the food it would be dead and would have come from the vegetable matter. It could have been in the rice too. But unless I get more info, I can't tell you much more," he said. "It's probably the best bit of protein in that meal."
