“Nice surprise”: Woman discovers unwelcome visitor in celery
A woman claims that she found a “nice surprise” in a sealed bag of celery that she bought from Woolworths over the weekend.
The woman posted images of the red back spider sitting on a stalk to the supermarket chain’s Facebook page on Sunday.
“Got a nice surprise in my sealed bag of celery yesterday. Red back under a stem I broke off. Wasn’t expecting that!!” she wrote.
The woman said she bought the celery from a store in Canberra and declined a refund because the spider “didn’t eat much anyway and he was the only one”.
Woolworths responded to her post on Monday, thanking her for bringing it to their attention.
“We ensure that all of our products are at the highest standards so we're disappointed to see a spider in your celery,” the post said.
“We'd like to raise this to our products team who'll look into this further.”
“We'd like you to let you know that we do have a refund or replacement policy, the next time you visit our store please see our service desk with the product or receipt our friendly team member would be more than happy to assist you further. We're looking forward to hearing from you soon.”
