A family were left reeling in shock after their son bit into Lidl baked beans and found bugs nesting inside the tin.
Couple Hannah and Tim were tucking into their meal with six-year-old son Louie, when they made the sickening discovery.
The pair, who did not want to give their surnames, found at least seven dead weevils - a type of beetle - inside the tins of Lidl beans, but only made the stomach-churning discovery after already eating most of their dinner.
Hannah, from Eastry, Kent, said: "We have been slightly put off baked beans to say the least. We all felt disgusted, shocked and horrified.
"The response from Lidl was that they assured us of their high standards and no pest control issues had arisen from their supplier. However they said they would continue to monitor the situation."
The family were only given a £15 voucher as an apology but are begging the budget supermarket giant to recall the product - bought from the Whitfield, Kent branch on March 27.
Hannah is now urging other Lidl shoppers to check their food before eating, as their beans came with a use-by date of November 24, 2024.
A spokesman for Lidl said bosses are carrying out a review and added: "We were very sorry to hear of this matter, as it is never our intention for a customer to be dissatisfied in any way.
"We work very closely with our suppliers to ensure that the products we sell are of the highest possible quality for our customers.
"We are, therefore, disappointed if our expected high standards were not met on this occasion.
"Following initial contact from the customer with our customer services team, the matter was immediately escalated to our quality assurance team, who are carrying out a full investigation with the supplier."
