This isn't the first time such an unsettling incident has occurred, with creepy crawlers making their way into food. A local school teacher recently shared a disturbing experience on social media when she decided to have lunch with her student, who was dealing with gastric issues.
While pouring some kicap (soy sauce) onto her plate, she discovered five lizards inside the kicap bottle, leading to an immediate bout of nausea. Upon reading the comments, many netizens expressed disgust, with some sharing similar experiences of finding unwelcome creatures in food items like kicap bottles.

There were suggestions that perhaps the teacher didn't close the kicap bottle properly after cooking. However, the teacher clarified that the kicap was stored in the pantry and was unlikely to be used for cooking.
Considering the size of the lizard, it seemed improbable for it to enter through the small space in the bottle cap.
The question remains: How did the lizards enter the closed kicap bottle? Was it already inside, unnoticed because the bottle was full?
