She uploaded the photo of the venomous spider to Woolworth’s Facebook page, asking the supermarket contact her urgently.
“Hi team Woolworths. I just had a nasty surprise - a live redback spider in my broccoli purchased today at your Runaway Bay store,” Nott said.
“I am lucky it did not bite me as I washed it. I plan to take in the critter (now frozen) and my receipt tomorrow. I thought I should mention it in case there is an infestation.”
Woolworth replied asking that she contact them.
"We're very concerned about this, Dee, and take incidents like this very seriously," A Woolworths spokesperson wrote.
"Please let us know your phone number, and state, in a Private Message at (their message page) so that we can follow this up with you ASAP. Thanks."
Yahoo7 contacted a Woolworths spokeswoman for comment who said they were looking into the incident.
