Needles found in Auckland strawberries

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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Countdown supermarket has withdrawn the Choice brand of Australian strawberries from sale as what it calls a "precautionary measure", the supermarket said in a media release.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
