A Toronto woman, Erin Cameron, says found a beetle buried in the lettuce of an organic salad she purchased at the Loblaws at Portland and Queen Streets in the City.  “I took a scoop, just with my hands, of the lettuce, and put it into my bowl,” she recalls. “Right away I noticed there was a giant bug inside … and I kind of freaked out”. Cameron says she also discovered by looking  online that the creature appears to be a so-called Blister Beetles that may be lethal to animals when eaten.  This story was originated by the CBC which obtained an email saying the company had been in contact with Ms. Cameron.
