Needle found in capsicum no cause for panic, MPI say
Hi neighbours,
A Tauranga woman was recently left with a sharp taste in her mouth after finding a needle in a capsicum. The needle scratched her tongue but luckily did not do any serious damage. Police and MPI are investigating the incident.
Although a needle was also found in a strawberry in Geraldine this week, MPI currently believe they are isolated incidents.
The public are being urged to report anything out of the ordinary to the retailer or MPI.
