The student brought the discovery to the attention of cafeteria staff, who immediately stopped serving the dish and provided the student with a replacement lunch.
"I'm glad he came forward," Pawlik told PennLive.com.
The popcorn chicken bowl consists of mashed potatoes, corn, popcorn chicken and gravy.
"After investigating, it is our belief that the bug was actually a corn ear worm that came in the USDA federal subsidized corn commodity. We have since filed a complaint form with the USDA," Pawlik said in a statement provided to WNEP-TV.
