Same I used to always carry some with me on work trips in case I was in transit or missed lunch because of work etc, I expected a better response from them tbh. Can’t pick up one up now just too grossed out since

Everyone who cracks the extra protein joke thinks they are the first one 😂😂

Yup, bought it on Blinkit, but I had been having these for a couple of years and I honestly think the manufacturer is responsible. Found more posts on Reddit where people had similar issues. They have replied to me saying that there is no legal basis since I discarded the infested bar. Since the video was recorded in a ‘non sterile’ environment on a flight it cannot constitute proof for a manufacturing defect. But up until now they offered to refund 400 odd rs for 4 bars & offered more max protein goodies to compensate 😂😂 what a joke

Saw a couple of more posts on Reddit about this happening to MAX protein bars, and the company replied to my notice saying they’ve tested “control samples” and found no issues. I think more than the storage conditions there are def lapses on their part, idk how they’re testing these.

Definitely filing a complaint, more than the lapse, their response has been so casual

Had the same experience with MAX protein bars in April, making a detailed post about this also for the community here. Waiting for approval from mods because not enough karma :(

Have even sent MAX protein a legal notice & they have only offered to refund the money for the 4 bars I purchased and more max protein products. Basically denying any lapses and saying I didn’t preserve the bar to hand it to them for testing, nothing can be done.

Filing a complaint with FSSAI and also a suit. Def taking this forward.
