Passenger discovers MAGGOTS in his sandwich at Atlanta airport after the parmesan cheese start squirming
Loss of appetite: Maggots can be seen on the tomato of the sandwich bought at Atlanta airport

A businessman who bought a sandwich at Atlanta airport received a nasty shock when he found his snack was crawling with maggots.

Frequent flier Joel Woloshuk picked up the snack from Café Intermezzo last week but realized something was not quite right when the parmesan cheese curls began squirming.

The restaurant now says it has switched vendors following the discovery of maggots in the focaccia bread at Hartsfield-Jackson Inteational Airport.

Mr Woloshuk told WSB-TV: 'What I thought was parmesan and the parmesan began to move.'

Café Intermezzo's president said the case was isolated and the problem could not have originated at the restaurant.

He says the restaurant switched bread vendors and 'not a single crumb' from the original bakery remains.

Atlanta Department of Aviation officials say they're distributing ultraviolet lights to Hartsfield-Jackson Inteational Airport restaurants so they can better inspect food shipments.

The Clayton County Board of Health says it found no citable violation at the location that it inspected.
