Aug. 19 (UPI) -- A Wisconsin family said they were shocked to discover a live frog inside the salad they bought from a local supermarket.
Karlie Allen said her family bought the plastic container of Simple Truth Organic lettuce salad at the Pick 'n Save store in Glendale and didn't discover until inside their home that the container also housed a live frog.
Allen said her family planned to return the salad with the frog intact the next morning, but they discovered the amphibian escaped the container overnight and was perched on an outlet by the kitchen counter.
The Allens decided to put the frog outside and returned the lettuce for a refund.
Roundy's Supermarkets, Inc., Pick 'n Save's parent company, explained the situation in a statement provided to WTMJ-TV.
"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," the statement said.
"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. In this instance, the customer returned the organic lettuce for an even exchange."
Dunno why, I was thinking about that part 2 or 3 days ago.

“Spiders I can handle. They eat other bugs, and will pretty much leave you alone.......”
i’m a BIG fan of pretty much anything that eats bugs, particularly spiders because they’re very unobtrusive house-guests ... not to mention that they’re the engineers of the arachnid world ...
great map!
Oh no...warts!!!
I thought the headline read:
“Wisconsin finally finds live frog in store-bought salad.”
I was wondering how long they were looking.
I live in S.E. wisconsin... that map of WI, down the thread.... I don’t think it’s wrong in an fundamental way.
Love that map. Having grown up in Chicago, Wisconsin definitely had a reputation.
I would have rinsed the salad off and ate it.
If they were in China, a little ‘Rock Chicken’ would be a bonus.
I think if you find the live frog in your bag o salad you get a free pony
An 86 year-old man is out fishing. He was sitting in his boat when he heard a voice say,
“Pick me up!”
He looked around and did not see any one. He thought he was dreaming until he heard the voice again.
“Pick me up.” The old man looked in the water and there, floating on a lilly pad was a frog.
The man said, “Are you talking to me?”
The frog replied, “Yes, I’m talking to you. Pick me up. Then, kiss me and I’ll turn into the most beautiful woman you have
ever seen. I’ll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because you will have me as your bride.”
The man looked at the frog for a minute in confusion, reached over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front pocket.
The frog screamed, “What, are you nuts? Didn’t you hear what I said?? I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride!”
He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said,
“Nah, at my age I’d rather have a talking frog.”
The salad is being recalled, they forgot to put ‘Frog’ on the list of the salad ingredients...
Frog poop is always organic.
Frog leg salad. Replaces chicken salad.
When I was growing up and going to Boy Scout camp, we used to go down to the pond with slingshots and a pocket full of rocks. We'd bring a bunch of frogs back, cut their legs off, and put the legs on sticks to put over the campfire. Why they were just like chicken wings!
Definitely not the Boy Scouts of today.
When they aren't turning themselves into a salad topping.
