"It fully did make me gag! Especially cause it was still alive and because of how big it was!

"I just think it was quite repulsing.

"What if the moth had some sort of virus or something and I didn’t see it and eat it?  I know it sounds dramatic but you never know do you!?

Cameron said when he noticed the insect he went back to the store he purchased it from, in Forge Shopping Centre, to complain.

And he said the gruesome find has made him question other ready to eat products from the store.

He added: "It makes me question the food hygiene standards of M&S.

"I don’t really even want to eat another ready to eat product knowing that a lot of them are made in the same place too!"

A spokesman for M&S said: “We are really sorry to hear about Mr Meakin’s complaint.

"We’ve asked him to return the wrap to his local store so we can investigate, and our customer services team are in touch.”

Cameron, who works in a barbers in Stockton Heath, told the : "When I got back to the shop I went to open it and the moth was literally just sat there on top of wriggling around.
