Imagine you’re hungry and about to open a salad pouch you recently purchased from a store, only to find a toad staring back at you from inside the bag. You would probably scream out loud after spotting the unexpected creature in your food pack, wouldn’t you?

Something similar recently happened in England when a person unwrapped a salad bag bought from a supermarket and found a live toad inside. A staff member from the Waitrose distribution center in Bracknell contacted the local animal rescue team after discovering the toad hidden in the salad bag.

Did they ensure that this salad bag with the toad wasn’t placed on the shelves to prevent any customer from accidentally picking it up? No. They only found out about the live toad after a customer complained.

Soon after, the pouch was set aside and the rescuers were called in for assistance. Berkshire Reptile Rescue responded to the incident and confirmed that the toad was found by a customer in a bag of salad and was subsequently returned to Waitrose.

The toad was safely collected and isolated by the rescuers while they investigated how it ended up inside the food package. “I have no idea where he came from but he’s happy where he is… We are just going to keep him,” rescuer Graham Martin told the BBC.

Martin also pointed out that incidents like this have surprisingly become more common recently. People often seek his help to rescue stowaway reptiles found in their holiday luggage or even in imported fruits and vegetables.
