Snake found on Aldi pineapple in Scotland
The pineapple is believed to have been bought from the budget retailer in Edinburgh’s Hutchison Road. The snake, which has now been named Ricky, was found wrapped around the crown of the exotic fruit.
Experts have yet to ascertain the exact species of snake, which is only a few inches long.
An Aldi spokeswoman said: “This is the first time we, or our supplier, who supplies all major supermarkets, have received a complaint of this nature.
“All our fresh pineapples are transported in cold storage with additional processes in place to prevent such issues occurring. We are investigating this isolated incident with our supplier to understand how this could have happened.”
