A Costco shopper living in Oregon was shocked to find an unexpected creature after she cracked one of her newly purchased eggs.
The buyer, who's known as @xiomis95 on TikTok, posted a video on the social media platform two days ago after she discovered a roundworm in one of her eggs.
'If you get eggs from f****** Costco, crack them in a separate bowl,' she stated prior to scooping up the roundworm with a fork.

Roundworms are small organisms that can live in a human or animal intestine, sometimes for long periods of time.
The Cleveland Clinic reads that a roundworm has a long round body that can come in different sizes depending on the type.
Roundworms can also cause various health problems, including stomach pain. fever, and diarrhea.
This isn't the first time that roundworms have been found by Costco customers.
@xiomis95 had a hard time looking at the roundworm that was still moving in the eggs. However, she did scoop it up briefly with a fork
New York Costco customer Jack Sanchez was disturbed after he saw a roundworm in a package of salmon in 2019 while he was in a checkout line.
Sanchez told PIX11 News that he called over a manager, who told him it was 'pretty normal' that the salmon had a worm or parasite.
Rachel Lyn posted a TikTok video back in 2023 after she found a roundworm crawling inside a package of salmon at a Costco in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Lyn's video quickly went viral, and as of now, it's gotten nearly 5 million views.
The Oregon TikToker is not the only person to have discovered a roundworm in her Costco purchase. Another TikToker named Rachel Lyn went viral after she found one in her salmon
