Guys please check if you bought strawberries from Australia

 

---------

 

Australians have been warned to cut fresh strawberries before biting into them after several people found sewing needles hidden inside the fruit.

 

Contaminated punnets have been reported in supermarkets in the states of New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria.

 

One man was taken to hospital after eating a strawberry with a needle inside. A nine-year old boy bit into a contaminated fruit but did not swallow.

 

Several brands of strawberries have been withdrawn.

 

These include Donnybrook strawberries and those sold by the Woolworths Group under the Berry Obsession and Berry Licious names.

 

Health officials have urged people purchasing the fruit to be cautious.

Yah, I also think is tio sabo.

 

No reason for needles to be ard in the farm to start with, unless they manually sew the plastic boxes to seal them. .  [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]

I think it's not so bad....

 

Needles only. Just be careful can Liao.

 

There are worse stuff. Like HIV blood. Chemicals etc

 

If it is done by the Chinese, would people still say that.

 

I would say this is bad enough. Needles are not harmless.

In Oz, i recall seeing a bunch of asian workers plucking strawberries at a farm. But dunno if they were PRC workers or not

You bite real hard to crack a tooth ð. Did you pursue?

Initially just brushed it aside and thought nothing of it.

 

Didn't realize it cracked until I visited the dentist a few weeks later cos the sore sensation persisted
