After several customers complained to the store about finding dead muizen (mice) in their bags of frozen green beans, Jumbo is removing the product from its shelves.
Imagine this: you’ve had a long day at work, and now that you’re home, you just want to make a quick, easy, healthy dinner for yourself before you crash face-first onto your pillow.
You open your delicious bag of green beans (your favourite veggie), pour them into the boiling pot, and — what’s that cold fuzzy thing floating in the middle?
A mouse!?
Just like that, Jumbo’s ruined your evening (and your appetite).
What happened?
Multiple customers, from Limburg to Rotterdam, called in and reported finding dead mice in the in-house brand of frozen green beans from Jumbo, reports NU.nl.
An affected couple in Rotterdam told AD that the experience made them “incredibly nauseous.” No kidding!

The mice were found in bags purchased in the last few weeks; as a precaution, Jumbo is removing all frozen green beans from its stores.
What can be done?
If you’ve purchased these green beans from Jumbo in recent weeks and have concerns, you can return the bags to the store for a full refund.
For now, it’s unclear how the mice got into the bags in the first place. Jumbo is working with the supplier for their private brand to investigate this gross mystery, reports NU.nl.
Let’s hope the future holds nothing but squeaky-clean (pun intended) bags of green beans. 😉
