Strawberries Needle Contamination
Yesterday I questioned why the strawberries at Countdown in Crofton Downs were from Australia because of the recent needles contamination in Australian strawberries. I was a bit taken aback that the fruit and vege department didn't seem aware of the needles contamination and then was told by a manager that the supplier they used was not one that had been identified as contaminated. The brand Countdown sells is Ti and I checked today that this was actually the first brand identified in Australia following the first needles complaint. Today Countdown in Auckland stopped Australian supplies after finding needles in their supply. Better safe than sorry for our families and in particular our kids.
