Worms in grapes? Help?

So we went to the store and bought grapes, we washed them they looked okay. Everyone had a few.
My sister in law, who just had a baby like ten days ago, bit into one and there was something white in it? it’s about the size of a fingernail and kinda looks like a worm.
We don’t know if the rest of us ate any.
Are they dangerous? Will it affect her breast feeding/should she call the hospital?
Can you get tape worm? Or what exactly are they?
Thanks!

I never saw a worm in a grape, but it won’t hurt you. (It’s much harder on the worm!)
I’m happy if I find a worm in produce. At least you know there’s little or no pesticide in it. That’s good for your sister-in-law.
Sounds like a maggot maybe? Wouldn’t be too worried, people hype how bad it is because its gross, small fruit worms and all that are mainly just protein. 1 maggot is ok to eat (as long as it isn’t live, which may cause it to breed, although the stomach acids could probably kill it anyway) but I wouldn’t start eating many of them, I wouldn’t start worrying about going to that store again. Little or no pesticided food is healthier.
At least you know they are organic.
the seeds inside the grape probably sprouted. it happens. not likely that it’s a worm or maggot… gross
