A Leslieville resident claims she got an unpleasant surprise when she opened a package of berries she bought at a local grocery store.
According to Metroland Media, Denise Buchanan says she found a dead scorpion inside a package of blackberries grown in Mexico.
She made the purchase at a No Frills store in the area of Carlaw Ave and Gerrard St.
Buchanan kept the package and dead scorpion, to return it to the store.
A spokesperson with Loblaw Companies tells NEWSTALK 1010 that the customer has yet to return the packaging, but they will investigate once she does.
"Our vendors are audited regularly and uphold exceptionally high quality standards," Karen Gumbs writes in a statement. "We apologize for this customer’s experience as it is not reflective of those standards.
