The author of the post claims that an insect fell out of the children's milk packaging together with its contents. The post sparked an active discussion, but not all users believed the story. Рristalica.by examined the comments and reached out to the manufacturer for clarification.

Other discussion participants suggested that the insect could have been on the outside of the box or gotten into the drink after opening.

• Most likely it clung to the outside of the box and fell into the cup, – one commenter suggested.

Some users also pointed out the lack of evidence that the find was discovered inside the sealed packaging. They joked, “If it had fallen out with the milk, it would have been in it. ‘Did you wipe it off?’”

The second is located in the sterilization unit, and the third – fine-mesh filters directly on the dosing devices of the packaging machine.
