A surprising and unsettling incident occurred when Neville Linton, a 63-year-old man from West Midlands, England, discovered a snake in a bag of broccoli he had purchased from Aldi. This unexpected encounter left him frightened, particularly because he had a fear of snakes.
Linton, who works in industrial cleaning, immediately sought help from his relatives, who assisted in safely removing the snake from his kitchen. He expressed his relief that the snake hadn’t been left loose in the house, as it posed a risk to the vulnerable individuals living with him, including his disabled son and mother-in-law.

After identifying the snake, Linton and his sister, Ann-Marie Tenkanemin, 57, trapped it in a plastic container and returned it to Aldi. Although he received some compensation, Linton believes the situation should warrant more due to the potential risks it posed to his family and the emotional impact it had on him.
Aldi responded by stating that this was an isolated incident and that their supplier has robust processes in place to prevent such issues. They apologized to Mr. Linton for not meeting their usual high standards.

The snake found in the broccoli was identified as a young ladder snake, according to Linton’s son, Donovan, 41. Although they can look intimidating, ladder snakes are not venomous and are commonly found in various European regions. They primarily feed on rodents, birds, spiders, lizards, and insects, making them non-threatening to humans. The snake has been relocated to the Dudley Zoo.
However, herpetologist Dr. Steven J. R. Allain disagreed with the identification, suggesting that the snake was a viperine water snake, which is also non-dangerous to humans. He explained that these snakes do not bite humans as a defense mechanism and are considered non-venomous. He theorized that the snake likely ended up in the broccoli due to agricultural equipment scooping it up while it was moving through a field.
Allain emphasized the need to educate the public about these species to reduce fear and misunderstanding.
