Needles found in Auckland strawberries
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 is advising New Zealand customers to cut up strawberries before eating them.
Countdown supermarket has withdrawn the Choice brand of Australian strawberries from sale as what it calls a "precautionary measure", the supermarket said in a media release.

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
