Atlanta Walmart shopper buys Dave’s Killer Bread. Then she opens it—and sees something that definitely shouldn’t be there: ‘Been crying for hours’

An Atlanta Walmart shopper says she found something squirming in her Dave's Killer Bread. And she has the evidence to prove it.

A content creator who goes by Neeeeeeeechi (@emuraaaaaaaa) films a video featuring what appears to be a maggot in a Dave's Killer Bread loaf. In the clip, Neeeeeeeechi tells her audience not to buy Dave's Killer Bread, using her experience as a cautionary tale.

“I am … literally in tears like disgusted … @Dave's Killer Bread @Walmart I have never in my life experienced this … I am livid, I've been crying for hours I can't deal,” she writes in her caption.

The post has received more than 227,000 views as of this writing.

‘That bread has been recalled several times sis'

In the comments section, viewers tried to identify the bug that ended up in the content creator's loaf.

“Maggots = [flies] landed and laid eggs on the product before it was packaged, so that would be a manufacturing issue,” one commenter said.

Another commenter said, “That bread looks like it has worms and mold in general.”

Some commenters said Walmart, the company carrying the bread, was to blame.

“Walmart is so grosss I never buy grocery there … [It's] not what it [used] to be,” a viewer said.

How do pantry pests end up in food products?

After the initial shock of discovering a pantry pest in a cereal box or bread loaf, most people wonder the same thing: How exactly did a bug get in there?

While most consumers turn toward food brands for answers, the reality is that pests can enter products at any stage of the food distribution cycle. In this case, it's unlikely the worm ended up in the bread prior to baking, as it would've died during the production process.

The University of Minnesota's Extension explains, “Pantry pests are most likely to infest products that have been opened but they also can get into unopened paper, thin cardboard, and plastic, foil or cellophane-wrapped packages.”

It's possible that bugs burrowed into the bread at any point during distribution. Purdue Extension specifically recommends that consumers check the bags of products to ensure they're not torn or damaged.

The extension service also says to “Keep foods in storage less than two to four months.”

It tells consumers to “Store dried foods in insect-proof containers, such as screw-top glass, heavy plastic, or metal containers.”

Other issues with Dave's Killer Bread

Neeeeeeeechi, however, isn't the first person to have an issue with Dave's Killer Bread. In fact, consumers have called for the bread to be recalled in the past, but for a completely different reason.

Meg Nickerson, a Dallas resident, used the whole grain product to make a sandwich for her daughter. Then she discovered “wood chips” in a loaf she purchased.

“At first, I was gaslighting myself,” Nickerson said at the time. “I was like, ‘Maybe it's some sort of grain or oat or something,' but no, it's for sure a wood chip.”

In a comment to BroBible, a spokesperson for Dave's Killer Bread said, “At Dave's Killer Bread, we take quality matters very seriously. We are in contact with the consumer to address their concern.”

Does Dave's Killer Bread have any outstanding recalls?

Some of Neeeeeeeechi's commenters told the content creator the brand has had multiple food safety recalls. Is that true?

Simply put, no. There appear to be no active recalls for the brand. There have been some recalls for the brand in the past, however.

In 2025, the Department of Defense recalled Dave's Killer Bread Amped-up Protein Bars, as the product reportedly contained hemp as its first ingredient.

Flowers Foods, the company that owns Dave's Killer Bread, has had a recent recall for Nature's Own Hawaiian Bread, per the Food and Drug Administration.

Neither of these recalls, however, should affect Dave's Killer Bread products in stores.

Dave's Killer Bread says that its “products are safe to eat and meet all federal food safety standards.”

“All Dave's Killer Bread products are made with organic ingredients. … [All] of the company's suppliers maintain USDA organic certification through rigorous third-party audits,” the brand says. “The company remains confident that its products are safe to consume.”
