A Texas mom is still squirming after she found a worm in her babys formula.

Jessica Chavez told KXAN in an interview published Tuesday that she was preparing a bottle for her eight-month-old son when she noticed something strange in the formula powder.

I was scooping up some formula and then I noticed something black inside the powder, she recalled.

So, I got it out, and it was moving. Thats when I noticed it was a worm.

Chavez told the outlet that she bought the Enfamil NueroPro Gentlease Infant formula on Amazon on Feb. 25. When she found the worm, she contacted the company and got a refund.

In a statement to KXAN, Enfamils parent company Mead Johnson Nutrition said it was taking the incident very seriously.

We received the consumer complaint, have been in touch with the consumer directly, and are moving quickly to investigate the situation, the comment read.

Earlier this year, Enfamil recalled about 145,000 cans of its ProSobee Simply Plant-Based Infant Formula due to a cross-contamination scare.

Chavez said the company is picking up the formula packets from her home this week to perform further testing.

She added that her son, Amado, is suffering from diarrhea, samples of which she plans to have testing for parasites.

I just want it to be spread out to moms, Chavez said of her disturbing discovery. Chavez reached out to the company about her disturbing find.KXAN

Its shockingandits really disgusting to know that theres worms in there.

News of Chavezs near-miss comes amid a nationwide formula shortage that began last year and is expected to persist through the spring.

Comedian Milton Jones reveals he's cancer free

Comedian Milton Jones has revealed he is cancer free after being treated for prostate cancer.

In April, the 61-year-old, who is known for his appearances on Mock The Week, announced he was cancelling a number of UK tour dates to undergo surgery.

Jones said in a statement: “A few months ago, I had to stop my tour HA!MILTON because I needed treatment for prostate cancer. I’m glad to say I’ve had that treatment and am now cancer-free!

“So, many thanks to all the doctors and nurses who helped me get better – I couldn’t do their job (I tried, but apparently you have to be qualified).”

Thanking his family, friends and fans, he went on to joke: “I have to admit there were a few dark moments when I wondered if anyone would ever see me again, but then I realised that I was leaning against the light switch.

“Thankfully, I’m now in a completely different place, and if you look at my website, you’ll see that very soon I’ll be in lots of other different places on tour too”.

Jones picks up his tour on 15 September in Stafford, touring until the end of November 2025.

The show, whose name is a play on the title of the hit musical Hamilton, promises laughter and unforgettable comedy moments, as well as jokes about giraffes and tomatoes.

The Richmond-born comedian has been hailed as the king of the one-liner, basing his jokes on clever wordplay and surreal humour.

He has performed on Live At The Apollo, Lee Mack’s All Star Cast, and Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow.
