Dead mouse found in pre-packaged salad

A Michigan couple said they were horrified when they found a dead, disemboweled mouse in their bag of Dole Salad. John K. Jones said he sat down with his girlfriend, Ebony Wright, and her 7-year-old son for dinner on Sunday afternoon.



He was shocked to find the gruesome rodent buried in the Italian dressing covered salad. "I moved a couple of leaves and there was a mouse, a dead mouse laying on its back, and you could see the guts hanging out. I immediately got up and ran to the bathroom," Jones said.

"I was shocked, he ran to the bathroom and was throwing up," Wright said. "I said are you sick or something and he said you are not going to believe what's on that plate." Unfortunately, each of them had already eaten some of the Dole "Tender Garden" salad mix that they had purchased from a Kroger grocery store, so they immediately went to the hospital.

"I know these things carry bacteria and didn't want my son to be sick," Wright said. The couple said that they then called both the Kroger store where it was purchased and Dole. Both companies offered to refund the couple the price of the bag of salad, but the couple feels that's not enough.

Well... everything carries bacteria. If you lick the back of your hand, you will end up with a few hundred million of the things going into your system.

A dead mouse is a bacteria farm, sure, but there are much more interesting things to worry about.

Hanta virus for a start; it's like the plague but kills you faster. Fun for the whole family!

The price of a bag of salad isn't enough. Mice aren't cheap you know, she should get at least the cost of a mouse+bag of salad.
