I got the fright of my life after finding something very unexpected in my bag of Sainsbury’s salad
A SHOPPER got the fright of her life when a grasshopper bounded out of her Sainsbury’s salad.
Charlotte Jade, 25, said she ran around at work screaming when she touched the six-inch bug.
The office manager, who bought the bistro salad at the Sainsbury’s Local Old Street branch in East London, said: “When I put my hand in to get a few leaves, I touched this long grey thing inside which was the grasshopper.
“I genuinely thought it might be a moth at first because you don’t really get grasshoppers in the UK.
“I just ran around the room screaming.
“It was starting to move a bit and wake up and it looked like it was completely unharmed.
“It was so scary.
“The pictures don’t really do it justice – it was so gross and so horrible.”
“It even frightened the Australians.”
Charlotte said she would steer clear of Sainsbury’s salads, adding: “All they offered me was a £10 voucher.”
A spokesperson said: “We have apologised to Charlotte and are investigating with our supplier.”
