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Countdown supermarket has withdrawn the Choice brand of Australian strawberries from sale as what it calls a "precautionary measure", the supermarket said in a media release.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
