Woman Says Mouse Found In Restaurant Salad.

VANCOUVER, Wash. -- A Vancouver woman said she chewed on a dead mouse while eating at a pizza restaurant on Tuesday.

The woman, who did not want to be identified, said she was attending a parents Girl Scout meeting at Round Table pizza in Vancouver.

She said she didn't realize she was chewing on something strange until she took two bites.

She said she then spit it out and discovered it was a small mouse. Other people sitting near her at the restaurant said they nearly vomited at the sight of the mouse on her plate.

"She was gagging, screaming and spit something on her plate," said a woman who spoke on camera, but did not want to be identified. "And it's a mouse. She took off to the bathroom to go throw up."

Representatives from Round Table Pizza's corporate headquarters said they're taking the report seriously, but admit they're skeptical.

The Clark County Health Department inspected the restaurant Wednesday and found no mouse urine or mouse droppings in the preparation areas of the restaurant. The inspector did find an empty mouse trap that the restaurant claimed was placed there when it had pest problems about nine months ago.

The woman who said she bit into the mouse is hiring an attorney to take legal action against the restaurant.

Meanwhile, Round Table's corporate office is working with the health department to deal with the problem.
