A disgusted father was horrified to find maggots wriggling around in a steak and kidney pie when he opened it to cook for his children . Stuart Pay , 39 , had opened the oven to cook the Fray Bentos pie when he noticed chunks of its pastry were missing . After taking a closer look , the electrician from Evesham , Worcester , saw three tiny maggots swimming around in the £2.49 pie . Stuart Pay was horrified to discover three maggots swimming in the Fray and Bentos steak and kidney pie he was about to cook for his children . The electrician was about to give the pie to children Cody , four , Kurtis , 12 , and Jade , 14 when he noticed the maggots wriggling around . The father of three said he was 'disgusted ' by the discovery but was glad to have made it before feeding children Cody , four , Kurtis , 12 , and Jade , 14 . 'We were about to put it in the oven but then we noticed there was a bit of pastry missing and then we saw the maggots , ' he said . 'We were going absolutely mad . We were disgusted . ' I will never buy them again . I will never buy a pie out of a tin again . 'It is disgusting . It could have made my kids ill because at the start I just thought some of the pastry casing was missing but then I looked further . 'So the maggots must have eaten it away . It is very gross . I only bought the pie days before . It is really horrible . ' The 39-year-old said he fears the maggots may have landed up in the pie after flies laid eggs in its case in the factory . Baxters , who produces the product , has not commented . Mr Pay said he would never buy another pie from the company again after the 'disgusting ' discovery . Mr Pay added he thought the maggots may have wormed their way into the pie when it was being made in a factory . 'We think there may have been flies in the factory and they may have laid their eggs in the containers there , ' he added . The family bought the pie from their local branch of Iceland just days beforehand . Mrs Pay said the store was however not at fault and that the responsibility lies with Baxters . ' I do n't think the store are at fault at all . They can not see what is inside the pies . ' A spokesman for Fray Bentos said : 'We have been informed of the claims made by Mr & Mrs Pay regarding one of our Fray Bentos products and are treating their complaint as a priority . ' 'Our immediate request on being contacted was to ask for the product to be returned so we could instigate an internal investigation into the can and its contents . 'As of yet we have not received the product therefore it is impossible for us to speculate further on these claims . '
