Melbourne woman’s nasty surprise in Woolies prepacked salad

On the list of things you never want to see when you’re opening a prepacked salad from Woolies, we think a spider must be pretty high up there.

Brooke Wiramanaden, from Narre Warren, said she felt “sick to her stomach” when she discovered that there was going to be a little extra crunch in her meal.

Wiramanaden reportedly purchased the leaves from the Woolworths outlet in Hampton park in the city’s south east, and was disgusted when she discovered the spider.

Wiramanaden posted the picture to the Woolies Facebook page, writing, “I was eating my lunch at work and I had pretty much eaten the whole thing when I noticed it.

“I wasn’t happy and I felt physically sick.”

Woolies has reportedly been in touch with Wiramanaden, and said in response, “We’re very concerned about this and take incidents like this very seriously.”

This isn’t the first time an eight-legged critter has found its way into a Woolworths product, with a similar incident occurring earlier this year when redback spider was found in a batch of broccoli a woman had purchased.
