Rose Carducci eats spinach salads often. The 28-year-old mother from Ohio also uses spinach to make smoothies for her 3-year-old daughter. It makes sense that for convenience sake, she would buy those bags of pre-washed greens that I happen to love and use all the time. Well, recently she ordered spinach online to be delivered from Buehler's supermarket. Even before she opened the bag of Dole spinach she received, she noticed there was something a-FOWL with it as in it had a bird's leg, talon, feathers and all in it! Ewwww!!! You've got to see this, it is nasty.

That does not look like spinach to me. I don't care if it has been pre-washed as Carducci says, "birds carry diseases" and who the heck would want a dead bird contaminating their greens like that.
Carducci has contacted the FDA and Dole headquarters. The company is investigating the incident. They also offered to pick up the contaminated bag and send her coupons for more bagged greens. Understandably, she has lost her appetite and declined the offer.
Check out the news report here and then if you can stomach it, I've got a round-up of the grossest stuff people have found in their food for you to check out and to remind you to always take a look at what you are eating before you put it in your mouth. –Additional reporting by Giselle Castro

Bolt in burger
A woman in Albuquerque, New Mexico ordered a burger at Applebee's and when it came to the table she bit into a rather large bolt that was embedded in the meat. I would have bolted after that. And no, the bolt did not come with a side of nuts.

From all of these on the list, this one is actually done on purpose. A restaurant in downtown Manhattan offers "Grass-whoppers" which contain queso Chihuahua, chipotle mayo, heirloom tomatoes, onion, and romaine lettuce, and crickets inside of a whole-wheat mini pita. I guess if you're the adventurous type go for it!
Frog in Salad
A Wall Street Journal reporter found a frog in her salad from upscale eatery, Pret A Manger. The poor woman didn't know the creature had been in her meal until she was half-way finished. The restaurant apologized for the incident and offered her a free lunch for the next time she visited.
