Yes salad should always be washed... |
A shopper could not believe her eyes when she opened a packet of salad to find a live frog inside. Carol-Anne Trevor, of London, put the packet of Tesco rocket salad on the table only to see it start to judder. "I opened it up and there were two big eyes staring back at me. I just could not believe my eyes," said Carol. "He's incredibly sweet, but there's no way he should have ended up in the packet. If it had been opened by someone with a weak heart it could have killed them," she added. The European tree frog - which is an inch long and bright green - has been offered a home at London Zoo. A spokesman for Tesco said they did not know how the frog had got into the bag. "We take this very seriously and it is extremely rare. The salad is washed very thoroughly before it goes into the bag. We do not cover our salad in chemicals that would kill frogs because our customers don't want us to," he said.
