From bargains to discounts, scanning for the best prices and buying in bulk, we always look for ways to save as much money as possible. One strategy is stocking up on frozen groceries.

Instead of buying fresh fruit and veggies, we can get great savings from a bag of frozen options that will last us for quite a while.

However, what one dedicated mum found in a bag of frozen blueberries she bought from a Woolworths store in Sydney has left many concerned, to say the least.

The 34-year-old woman from Eastgardens, who preferred not to be identified, made a shocking discovery when she was preparing breakfast for her twin children this week.

‘I defrosted them in the microwave, and then I was just spooning them out into their bowls.’

That’s when she found the ‘pellet-shaped form’, which she identified as ‘animal poo’.

‘I cut it in half and looked at it...it was pretty disgusting,’ she said. ‘I was so turned off, I didn’t even want to eat myself.’

Woolworths explained that what happened was rare, stressing that their blueberries—grown in Chile—are carefully cleaned and checked at the factory.

The woman advised everyone to be cautious and check frozen goods themselves.

‘Check inside (the packaging) of anything frozen,’ she suggested.

‘Whether you’re defrosting or about to chuck veggies in for a stir-fry, check everything thoroughly.’

Meanwhile, Woolworths also confirmed they were in contact with the supplier and mentioned that the woman could return the product for a complete refund.

‘We haven’t received any similar complaints for our Woolworths frozen blueberries,’ the supermarket giant said.

‘Farms growing the fruit for Woolworths Frozen Blueberries are required to have pest and animal controls in place, as well as following good agricultural practices regarding the storage and handling of harvested fruit.’

‘The manufacturing site which produces Woolworths Frozen Blueberries maintains a pest control program.’

The retailer continued: ‘Once at the factory, the blueberries undergo multiple cleaning and inspection steps, one of which includes washing the blueberries through a sanitising bath before they are frozen and packed.’

In similar news, Woolworths also faced criticism as a shopper discovered a frog in a woman’s dinner.

The incident was shared on video, with the shopper tagging Woolworths’ account. The frog was reportedly found in a bag of spinach labelled ‘ready to eat’.

Is she sure it wasn't a shrivelled up blueberry after being defrosted in the microwave

 

[Veggiepatch]

A piece of something that looks like rabbit crap?

Wow! I wonder how the unnamed woman would react to a used condom or a discarded tampon in her blueberries. All hell would break loose!

Enjoying breakfast are we?

 

[Zemo]

I love how the article reads "preparing breakfast for her twin children this week. I defrosted them in the microwave ... "
Like the redhead said, "Please explain?"

My daughter bought some frozen spinach once and found a Field mouse head in it. She was going to make the spinach cob and has never had or made it again.

I’m probably more concerned about the sanitising bath in chemicals!
It happens with natural products, I’d be happy to find a bug in a salad
for instance - less spraying, something survived….

In Chile? How long does it take from harvest to plate?

Why Chile Woollies? Can't you get them grown here cheaper than getting them grown, picked, washed, packed and sent over here to OZ? This is what is wrong with the world too many stupid ideas of where to grow things and how cheap it is.
Don't know what a nice blueberry tastes like anyway, my area only gets the sour out of everything - no wonder i don't eat fruit too much!

What's wrong with the Australian product to freeze bloody Chile berries fresh food people what bullshit that is South Africa owned store with substandard food

My sentiments exactly - you know you are going to get rubbish in the imported produce, frozen or "fresh" - most come from 3rd world countries - SE Asia, China via NZ without any checks and balances - Buy Australian people - sure it is a bit dearer in price but at least you are keeping an Aussie family on the land. Chinese are buying up family properties cheaply around Australia and produce is sent to China for processing, then re=exported back to Australia for our selection! They will own the whole of Aussie food bowls if we are not vigilant. We do not need to worry about an invasion - we already being raped. Going "Green" what rubbish Albo - how many carbon miles were involved just in that 1 packet of blueberries???
