Definitely consult with a personal injury attorney, specifically one that has experience with food poisoning or food-related injury. Your fiance should see a doctor ASAP.

Well, if he can prove that his illness is directly due to the worm larvae, he can sue for damages. Otherwise, he can get his money back.

Certainly, if he is sufficiently harmed, that could be the basis for lawsuit.

Go to the Dr and see what kind of damage has been done. Save the nuts in the freezer. Tell the retailer you purchased it from and the manufacturer.

It is not very pleasant to eat a worm but they are protein . I doubt if he is sick because of the wormy food. but maybe so. See a doctor and see what he says about it all. you have a very small claim at best and would not likely be worth paying the filing and service fees. Have you talked to the owner of the store where you bought the item. He may have med pay coverage to pay a doctor bill.

If he had eaten the nuts before noticing the worm, he would have a case.

Go to the doctor and find out if it is anything major. If not, learn to look at the nuts first. If there is something major, then perhaps there is a case, but I wouldn't hold out a lot of hope.
