Finding in a broccoli — an unpleasant surprise with a simple purchase

Fortunately, Manon quickly identified the reptile: a ladder snake, a harmless species that is common in some regions. The little intruder was neither aggressive nor dangerous – just unfortunately very badly placed.

A story with a happy ending… but which raises questions

The snake was carefully placed in a plastic box and then transported to the original store. An expert, contacted on the spot, confirmed that the animal did not pose any health risk. But for the family, still a little in shock, this misadventure has raised real questions.

Should controls in supply chains be strengthened? How could such a passenger end up in a broccoli? The debate has begun.

Since then, Internet users have been doubling down on their vigilance

Shared thousands of times on social networks, the story has provoked many reactions between fears, incredulous smiles and similar anecdotes. And one thing is certain: since this episode, many people have been examining their vegetables more carefully before going into the kitchen.

Any advice? Always rinse your vegetables with clean water… and keep an eye out. You never know what nature may have slipped into it!
