A woman was left “traumatized” after opening up a bag of spinach expecting some leafy greens — only to see a dead frog get mixed up in her pasta.

Finding something unpleasant in your food is never a good time, and one woman had a really, really bad time after opening up a bag of spinach.

We’ve covered plenty of these instances right here on Dexerto — from folks finding maggots in their Reese’s cups to others discovering bugs in their seasoning, people were so grossed out by these moments that they went viral online.

Now, another grisly food-related discovery is taking over social media after something was inside one woman’s bag of spinach that shouldn’t have been there.

Woman “traumatized” after frog found in spinach makes its way into her pasta

On October 19, Australian TikTok user Simone Baker uploaded a video to TikTok showing off what she’d found in her bag of spinach.

It looks like Simone was in the middle of making a tasty pasta dish — but when she decided to add spinach to the mix, she discovered something that she did not expect.

In addition to spinach, it looks like an entire frog was also included in her purchase, which could be seen on top of the pasta mixture covered in sauce.

“Woolies the fresh food people, quite literally a fresh frog in my spinach,” Baker captioned the video. “Can’t get much fresher than that.”

It appears as though Baker had contacted customer service at Woolworths, writing in one comment: “What kills me is how they asked, ‘Does the foreign body have any missing limbs?'”

Luckily, Baker is taking the whole ordeal with good spirits, even joining in on the jokes that users had in the comments section.

“What’s killing me is that he has sauce on him so you must have stirred him in,” one viewer wrote.

“Can I make this without frog? Not really a fan x,” another joked.

“This is why you always wash your vegetables before consuming!” yet another reminded.

In a follow-up video, Baker said she was “traumatized to ever eat spinach or pesto pasta again” due to the incident.

A spokesperson for Woolworths offered a statement about the situation, saying their “supplier conducted numerous quality assessments on this batch of spinach leaves and did not detect any foreign objects throughout the processing, so this appears to be an isolated incident.”

“We take all customer feedback seriously and understand this must have been an unwelcome surprise for this customer, particularly with the online comments on how delicious the meal looked.”
