A Victorian woman was left traumatised after discovering live maggots in her chicken tenders during her meal.

Tooradin man Bill Johnson told 3AW Mornings his daughter and her friend were eating the tenders bought from discount supermarket giant Aldi when they found the fly larvae crawling in the meal.

Mr Johnson's daughter called him in a 'distressed state' after finding the 'creepy crawlies in her chicken meal' last Monday.

Mr Johnson's daughter made a video as the cooked chicken tenderloin was split open, and small yellow specks could be seen wriggling inside.

'This was what was found inside a chicken tender,' Mr Johnson says.

'They are still moving as you can see'.  

Mr Johnson told 3AW he was skeptical anything would be alive in there after coming out of the freezer and going into the oven. 

'I couldn't believe it myself ... As you can see in the video, there's alive something in there.'

He suspects the maggots made their way from the batter mix into the chicken flesh.
