A shopper in Wisconsin won't be eating salad again anytime soon after making what she called an "absolutely disgusting" discovery while preparing dinner one night.
Karlie Allen says that she and her family had just gotten home from the grocery store and were putting dinner together when they made the discovery, WTMJ-TV reported.
Inside a sealed box of salad, she could quite clearly see a little frog. "Holy moly this is happening," she recalled thinking.
"I'm thinking one, how the heck did that get in there, and two, that is absolutely disgusting."
She intended to return both the salad and the frog to the store the next day, but somehow it escaped in the night. "It's perched on an outlet by our kitchen counter," she said.
The store provided a full refund, but Karlie sitll has questions.
"I just want to know how somebody didn't notice it or how it even managed to get through the packaging process alive," she said.
A spokesperson for the supermarket's parent company also made a statement, saying that "These situations happen from time to time when Organic products are involved. USDA Certified Organic items must be free of synthetic additives and certain pesticides. Although rare, from time-to-time we do see insects and other small animals such as frogs make it through packaging with fresh produce items."
"This is in a box of lettuce that's supposed to be triple washed and organic and healthy," she said.
