A Woolworths customer has vowed never to shop at Woolworths again, after finding a dead frog in and amongst his Italian salad leaves. Hmm, I don’t know – I reckon it enhances the ‘farm fresh’ angle consumers are looking for these days?
From Timeslive:
Woolworths said it was very concerned about the rare incident and had contacted Steenekamp.
“We do use pesticides sparingly, to ensure to that our fresh produce is grown in a healthy environment, that also preserves biodiversity.
It added that: “A healthy farm attracts insects, frogs, birds… and it may well be that the frog slipped through our extensive quality checks undetected”.
The picture made waves on twitter yesterday.
Many sprung to Woolworths’ defence calling the incident sabotage.
Others made fun of the situation, saying the Italian salad should have just been labelled French salad, referring to the French tradition of eating frogs.
@glitterdaiquiri tweeted: “This Woolworths frog thing has a white mom in Saxonworld curled into fetal position, crying because Pick n Pay is an option now”.

What do you reckon – is this the end of the world?
I’d take a frog over, say, a human finger..
At least it wasn’t from Israel – can you imagine the drama?
