Live frog found in salad greens
    2019-08-22  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A FAMILY in Wisconsin, the U.S., received a surprise visitor in their store-bought salad greens as they were getting ready for dinner Tuesday.

Karlie Allen recorded the encounter on her phone as the family spotted a live frog stuck to the side of the packaged Simple Truth organic greens.

Yells and disgusted looks by family members could be seen and heard in the video, with Allen screaming before exclaiming, “OMG, it’s literally alive.”

“I’m thinking, ‘One, how the heck did that get in there?’ and ‘Two, that is absolutely disgusting,’” Allen told WTMJ.

The origins of the frog could be traced to a Pick ‘n Save in Glendale, where the family had bought the salad greens Tuesday.

Allen said she decided to bring the contaminated product back to the grocery store where she showed the clerk the video and received a refund. She added that she wanted to bring the frog as well, but it escaped overnight.

While she didn’t receive any answers from the clerk as to how the frog ended up in the salad, Simple Truth and Pick ‘n Save’s parent company reached out to her to comment on the situation and apologize.

“These situations happen from time to time when organic products are involved,” Roundy’s Supermarkets, Inc. said in a statement. “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.”
