The restaurateurs then tried to defuse the emerging controversy, explaining that the presence of the worm was almost reassuring: "We of course immediately inquired about what could have happened and contacted our supplier in Rome: it is not a parasite and it does not present any danger," the owner assured Corriere dell'Umbria .
"It's only found in fresh fish, which means our oysters were fresh. It's a marine worm from the polychaete annelid family. We've of course requested additional checks, but we want to make it clear that we're very rigorous and that this video is causing us significant harm," he continues.
