| - Visited Sunflower last night in search of Scharffen Berger chocolates. Nay on SB chocs, but you may find organic (Green & Black's, Love, Newman's Own, etc.) in the impulse buy sections. I sampled a peanut milk chocolate cluster and an almond chocolate cluster at the bulk section and decided I'd get some peanut ones. I already had a plastic bag open and was about to jot down the item number on a label twisty-tie when I spotted something moving at the corner of my eye... I lifted the peanut chocolate cluster bin lid to have a look, and there was a 1/2- inch maggot doing its dance on one of the bin's walls!! I dropped the lid shut, stared at the bugger to see if I wasn't just seeing things, lifted the lid back up and pinched it off the bin's wall with the plastic bag in hand, and handed the bag to a clerk and told him where I found it. The manager on duty was close by so I repeated everything that transpired to her. She said she'd empty and sanitize the bin immediately. I didn't hang around to see if she did anything.
Ugh! I'm getting shivers up and down my spine typing this just now!!
BTW, I had a look into the freezer aisles a few weeks ago to have a look at the Berto gelato selections and they ALL have a horrible case of freezer burn. Looks like a pretty low turnover rate... I'll try to see if Sunflower still carries Laloo goatmilk ice cream, but, honestly, I can't see myself going there anytime soon after the maggot incident...

Update: Just recalled that Sunflower never sold Laloo... I found Laloo's goatmilk ice cream at Whole Foods and AJ's Fine Foods. Sorry for misleading!
