I bought a bag of lettuce from Trader Joes....?

Question

and there was a dead dried up fly in the bag with lettuce. I'm so grossed out and haven't be able to eat since last night. What should I do to forget about this? I don't think I can ever buy lettuce from them again..

Answer 1

that will not hurt you,you should have just washed it.many flies settle on fresh produce before it is packed. that fly was just unlucky to have landed on yours,you must have money to burn if you threw it away

Answer 2

You can take it back to Trader Joe's if you want, and you can return it for a full refund. But if you don't care about the $ tehn you don't have to............. idk what to do about being grossed out tho............ ummmm i guess jsut dont buy lettuce from them again..... and maybe make your food for teh frist couple days so that you know what goes into it and maybe you wont be freaked out as much..... I HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

sorry i couldn't help more

Answer 3

You can go back and complain, and get a new bag of lettuce

or pick out the fly and wash the lettuce...

Lettuce grows in an open field, thousands of bugs go through that field, walk on the lettuce, eat the lettuce, die on the lettuce, every day...

Any produce you buy, even if it's prepackaged, you should wash before using.......

Answer 4

That is really gross.  I don't know why it would cause you to not eat tho.  Just throw out the bag of lettuce and forget about it.  And don't buy lettuce from them anymore!  Eat something that's not lettuce though, like fruit!

Answer 5

That can happen from anywhere.  You are suppose to wash the lettuce before you eat it.

If you feel like that then you should avoid all produce and not eat in any restaurants. Life is full of choices...
