A mum was given a nasty surprise when she found a severely decomposed frog in her Nando’s salad. Super-fit
athlete Louise Rudd, 41, had been tucking into the chicken quinoa salad
at the Parrs Wood restaurant in East Didsbury with her son and husband
when she made the horrific discovery.

A lab report ordered by
Louise, from Cheadle, confirmed the amphibian was indeed a common
European frog, and said the “most plausible scenario” for it ending up
where it did was through the Skelmersdale-based factory Salads To Go
which produces the pre-packed salad.
Louise said: “What disgusts me the most is that I’d eaten most of the salad when I found it as it had sank to the bottom.
“It was horrendous, it was still whole and spread out. I went to the to the bathroom and was sick.”
Louise, who won gold in both the 800m and 1,500m at the World Masters
Championship in Lyon earlier in the summer, said she was more worried
about what kind of frog it was and what implication it could have on her
health., Manchester Evening News reports.
“I was right in the middle of my training. I had no idea what kind of frog it was. It makes me sick to think about it.
As a result of the experience in May, Nando’s offered her a free meal to compensate.
She added: “I haven’t been back since, I haven’t touched a pre-packed salad since, Salads To Go supply them to lots of supermarkets and chains. A lot of my friends won’t go back either.
“My 12-year-old son Aran
went back though. Nando’s paid for him and nine friends to go to the
cinema and then back to the restaurant for a meal.
“I also went
to the factory in Skelmersdale with someone from Nando’s. I asked Salads
To Go what they had done to stop things happening like this again.”
Louise joked the frog has since been dubbed Peri Peri Kermit by her friends.
it wasn't Kermit the Frog, who has appeared in another Christmas advert this year for Warburtons.
