Woman finds 'unwanted freebie' in bag of rice from Woolworths
A woman who stockpiled a large bag of rice was shocked to find an “unwanted freebie” sealed inside.
The woman bought the 10kg bag of Sunrice brand Australian medium grain rice from Woolworths in Cannington, in Perth’s south, about three weeks ago and stashed it away.
“Excitedly stored it away and happily chuck out the receipt,” she wrote on Facebook.
“Sadly I took the unopened bag of rice out today (April 15) and noticed it came with an unwanted freebie – a dead butterfly inside the bag.”
The woman expressed her disappointment as she was lucky to get her hands on the item that is in high demand due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“I stood in line 30 minutes to buy that bag of rice,” she wrote.
Some commented on the post saying they were surprised she had not noticed the dead butterfly in the bag while lining up to purchase the rice.
Others suggested she take the rice back to the store.
Woolworths commented on the post saying they wanted to bring the issue to the attention of their Quality Team.
“In the meantime, please feel free to return this product to your local Woolworths store to receive a full refund.”
Yahoo News Australia has contacted Sunrice for comment.
In January a Tasmanian woman claimed she found maggots crawling on her frankfurts.
