The hunt for those sabotaging strawberries with needles has gone trans-Tasman with the first report of a contaminated punnet in New Zealand.
Woolworths-owned supermarket chain Countdown announced it was removing Choice brand strawberries, imported from Western Australia, from shelves across NZ after an Auckland customer reported discovering needles in their fruit on Sunday.
The company said it had alerted authorities in Australia while NZ police and government agencies have also launched their own investigations.
