Needles found in Auckland strawberries

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

More than one needle has been found in a punnet of Australian-sourced strawberries bought in Auckland late on Saturday night.

The person who reported the incident was not harmed as the needles were found before anyone had eaten them, police confirmed.

The punnet was bought at an Auckland Countdown but the location will not be disclosed.

Countdown supermarket has withdrawn the Choice brand of Australian strawberries from sale as what it calls a "precautionary measure", the supermarket said in a media release.
