《華爾街日報》員工於Pret A Manger沙拉中驚現死青蛙

While eating her lunch-time salad, a Wall Street Journal employee found an unexpected ingredient - a frog.

在享用午餐沙拉時，《華爾街日報》(The Wall Street Journal)一名員工發現了一味意想不到的佐料――一隻青蛙。

After opening a Pret A Manger nicoise salad at her desk, and eating about half of it, she discovered an approximately two inch long green and brown dead frog in the lettuce. She summoned nearby coworkers to confirm what she saw.

這名員工坐在辦公桌旁，開啟從Pret A Manger店裡買來的法式尼斯沙拉，美滋滋地吃到一半時才赫然發現，生菜之中有一隻大約兩英寸、綠褐相間的死青蛙。她連忙呼喚附近的其他同事來看，確認她沒有眼花。

Ellen Roggemann, vice president of brand marketing for the company in the U.S., said that Pret A Manger's goal of selling 'handmade natural food,' often made from organic ingredients, could be partially to blame for the frog in the salad.

負責Pret A Manger美國市場品牌營銷的副總裁羅格曼(Ellen Roggemann)說，公司的目標是銷售“手工制天然食品”，通常取材自有機原料，這可能是沙拉中驚現死青蛙的部分原因。

'We don't use any pesticides with our greens and they go through multiple washing cycles,' she said. 'An unfortunate piece of organic matter has made its way through,' she added.

她說，公司的綠色蔬菜都沒有使用農藥，而且經過了數道清洗工序。她補充說，一個不幸的有機物成功地混了進來。

The Wall Street Journal employee brought her salad back to where she purchased it, the Pret location on 6th Ave between 47th and 48th street across from the company's office in New York. After handing the salad with frog to the store's manager, the manager apologized, said the Wall Street Journal employee who declined to be named. She received a refund and a voucher for a free lunch, she said.

本報員工購買上述沙拉的店面位於紐約曼哈頓第六大道，47街與48街之間，就在公司辦公室對面。那位不願意具名的《華爾街日報》員工說，她將沙拉拿回店裡給經理看，後者向她致歉。這名員工說，店裡給她退了錢，還給了她一張免費午餐兌換券。

'We are so regretful that this has happened,' said Ms. Roggemann.

羅格曼說，發生了這樣的事，我們感到很遺憾。

Pret issued a statement about the incident:

Pret就此事發布了一份宣告，譯文如下：

'At Pret A Manger, we take issues like this very seriously. Our lettuce is sourced from farms that do not use any pesticides on its produce, therefore organic matter does very rarely manage to pass through our production process. We are currently looking into this issue to make every effort that this does not happen again.'

Pret A Manger非常嚴肅地看待此類事件。我們的生菜來自不使用農藥的牧場，因此在十分罕見的情況下，有機物確實可能混入生產流程。我們正在調查這次事件，盡一切努力確保此類事件不再發生。
