The mother shared her shock when she found “black mud” in the Fruit Shoot Squeezee Pop that Wilko bought, who was planning to feed her one-year-old son.
Stephenie, 32, from Kent, said he bought two packs of items from the store in Westwood Cross Mall, Thanet, Kent, on July 26 at around 2:30pm.
In a clip that has already garnered 1.6 million views and 50,000 likes, Stephanie shows off some of the tubes containing an unknown black substance.
Pops come as a liquid in a plastic tube and can be frozen at home by following the directions on the package.
Stephenie, 32, from Kent, says he found “black mud” in the Fruit Shoot Squeezee Pop, which was bought by Wilko, who was planning to feed his one-year-old son.
“My almost two-year-old son is totally addicted to popsicle sticks, he loves them especially in this hot weather,” Stephanie said.
“These were his favourites, and he ate the frozen one at the time.
“I opened the outer box of one of my new packs and the first thing I saw was a black load covering the inside of the outer box and also the top of the ice pillars.
“When I took them out of the box, a few chunks of ice with black slurry were still closed. It was dirty.
Stephanie saw what appeared to be a thick, unknown black substance floating in one of the tubes that had been frozen at home.
The nauseating footage sparked an online response where one commenter compared black gunk to “primitive soup.”

Anne added that she was “disgusted and nauseous as this is such a well-known product and brand.”
“I know there are faults in factories etc but I was more worried” [about] other children eat them,” he said.
When asked if Stephenie would be checking out the ice cubes in the future, she replied, “Yes, of course.
Reviews were quick to respond to the chilling footage after it was posted online, with one comparing the black sticky to “primitive soup.”
“For every black substance in the pack and in the future, I’ll make sure to wash all the chunks of ice before freezing.
“You don’t know what they’re touching and your little ones put it in their mouth.”
After the images were posted on the Internet, someone asked, “What is this?” People reacted quickly with his writing.
“I’ve had this for the past three weeks,” a second person wrote.
A third person wrote “Extra protein”.
‘Unfortunately.’ A fourth person wrote.
“It looks like a primitive soup,” the fifth wrote.
Robinson reportedly contacted Stephenie to inform him that the Fruit Shoot Squeezee Pops were actually not manufactured by Britvic, but by a confectionery company in a different location.
