A “disgusted” woman claims to have found a dead cockroach in her Costco salad.
Amberleigh Webb alleges that she had taken two bites of her chicken Caesar salad when she spotted the supposed insect.
The 23-year-old says the incident left her in tears and frantically rinsing her mouth out with water.
Amberleigh and her partner, Shannon Lucas, 24, bought a salad each and were tucking into them in the car park when they made the discovery.
She claims she made a complaint in her local Costco, in Chingford, East London, and was given a full refund of £5.
“It was moments after leaving the store and when I went in for my third bite, I saw the bug and screamed,” Amberleigh told Need To Know.
“I was so shocked couldn’t believe I saw a bug.
“It looked like a cockroach but had wings on it.
“I felt so sick and I had to get water to wash my mouth with.
“I was very close to throwing up due to the disgust.
“I felt so violated. I actually cried because I was so disgusted.
“We looked it up and we believe it’s a German cockroach.”
Amberleigh, who works in events, claims she found the bug minutes after leaving the shop on 23 April.
She says the incident has put her off shopping at Costco for life.
She added: “It’s put me off eating any food from there!
“I will never buy any food from Costco again.”
Jam Press approached Costco and a representative declined to comment.
