Live Toad Found in UK Grocery Store Salad Bag

The origin of the amphibian remains unclear as experts investigate the rare incident.

A customer discovered a live toad in a bag of salad purchased from a Waitrose store in Bracknell, England.
Graham Martin from Berkshire Reptile Rescue is caring for the toad and keeping it isolated.
Experts are trying to pinpoint the species and origin of the toad, with possibilities including native UK and continental European species.
John Lewis Partnership, the parent company of Waitrose, apologized and emphasized their stringent sorting and washing processes.
Martin noted that such occurrences are rare but not unprecedented, having dealt with similar cases before.
