In Maryland, an Indian couple said that they found a live scorpion inside a packaged bag of spinach, which was purchased from a Giant food store.

Sri Sindhusha Boddapati of the Chevy Chase tells news outlets that she was making lunch on Monday when she noticed something crawling inside the bag.

She said she initially thought it was a cricket, but later realized it was a scorpion after capturing it in a water bottle.

Sindhusha’s husband, Shanmukha Pranay Rajeev Jerripothula, took the water bottle to the Landover store where they bought the spinach. He said he asked the store officials to stop selling the spinach, but the store officials refused.

In a statement, the Giant Food of Landover, Maryland, described what happened as an “isolated incident.” The company said it is taking steps to ensure that such incidents does not happen again.
