Breaking: Woolworths shoppers horror after finding spiders in 2 popular products

Warning: graphic photos - by Amy Sinclair

Two Woolworths shoppers have taken to social media to reveal their horror after finding spiders in two popular Woolies products. 

And the disturbing photos are sure to send a shiver down the spine of spider haters all over Australia.

In one incident, shopper Merlin reported finding a large spider in his Woolworths bread, sharing photos of what appears to be the curled-up dead critter imbedded into a slice. 

And in a second incident, another shopper Cheyanne claimed she found a dead spider at the bottom of her Woolworths brand Traditional Mayonnaise, which can be clearly seen from the outside of the bottle. 

In his Facebook post, Merlin wrote: ‘I recently purchased a loaf of bread from your Northland store and I saw that something was stuck in one of the slices. Turns out to be a spider. 

‘I have no idea how this passed through your quality control area (if you have one) as you could see the spider through the bag as pictured.’

He also added: ‘I'm glad I saw it before devouring it!’

In her Facebook post, Cheyanne also questioned how this could happen. She wrote: ‘How does a spider end up in mayonnaise? Obviously Woolworths’s factory needs a good clean. Absolutely vile. 🤮🤢’

Other social media users were quick to point out their shock to both posts on Facebook. 

‘Never eating bread again, cheers 🕷️🍞’ said one. Added another: ‘How that even went unnoticed is beyond me...’

Said a third: ‘So gross.’

Another had more comical views on it! 

‘Daddy long leg in mayonnaise. If this picture doesn’t say Australia then I don’t know what does!’ said one.
