A delighted customer at Surry Hills Coles, aka ‘Smacky’ Coles found five syringes embedded in a punnet of strawberries.
“I’m stoked,” said Gaz of Surry HIlls. “That means I don’t have to go to the chemist! And I freakin love strawberries eh!”
It came as supermarket giant Woolworths has taken the extraordinary step of withdrawing sewing needles from its shelves nationally following the fruit tampering crisis.
“We’ve taken the precautionary step of temporarily removing sewing needles from sale in our stores. The safety of our customers is our top priority,” a Woolworths spokesman told Surry Hills Times.
