Teacher Served Dead Frog in School Lunch
Frog legs--and the rest of the dead frog--came with a serving of broccoli a local teacher got with her school lunch, officials said Friday.
Melody Vizi, a teacher at the Bonner Elementary School in southeast Houston, made the discovery Wednesday, a Houston Independent School District spokeswoman said.
At first Vizi was unsure what the strange object on her lunch tray was, but after consulting colleagues, her suspicions were confirmed and it was identified as the remains of a frog.
Aramark Corp., which provides food management services to the 270 district schools, said every effort was being made to find out what had gone wrong and prevent it from happening again.
“It’s a serious issue and we are taking it very seriously,” said Ray Danilowicz, a manager with Philadelphia-based Aramark.
Danilowicz said the frog seemed to have gotten into the broccoli when it was being processed and packaged.
