A spokesperson for the supermarket chain said they are investigating the matter after the clip quickly went viral online as several people commented and shared it.
“This video is a perfect example of why supermarkets need to stop selling pastry out in the open like this. It’s not just the rats it’s the flies too,” a viewer wrote.
“I mean, they’re everywhere… but this is particularly gross…,” added another one more. (AW)
