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.”
