COLUMBUS, Ohio (WXIX) - A customer found a dead frog in a Kroger salad kit she bought at one of the grocery chain’s Ohio stores, according to a media report.

The woman purchased the Kroger-brand BLT salad kit with chicken and bacon at a store in Powell in Delaware County, just north of Columbus, WCMH reports.

After finding the amphibian in her unopened salad kit once she got into her car, the shopper returned to the store and received a $100 gift card from management as an apology, according to the report.

They also told her they would alert Kroger’s corporate officials.

“Food safety is a top priority, and we are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality products. We’ve been made aware of the incident and are further investigating this matter. Out of an abundance of caution, our store team immediately removed similar items from our shelves when notified by the customer,” a spokesperson from Kroger Communications and Public Affairs told WCMH.
