        These are Australian strawberries with Australian supplied needles; is Countdown still selling them?? Get Dutton on the job; deport them all back to Australia

        Hi @HorticultureNZ. Any chance of suing BBC for making damaging & untrue allegations against NZ strawberries? We know the strawberries found were imported from Australia. BBC have been told on this thread, but refuse to retract their misleading headline, which could affect sales.

        Oh for heavens sake do not let these nutters get away with disruption of strawberry industry. A needle is not difficult to spot?? Just cut each strawberry or juice ‘em? Simple?

        Please try to tell the TRUTH, for once BBC. They were NOT NZ strawberries. They were IMPORTED from WA, AUSTRALIA. 🤪 There have been NO needles found in NZ strawberries. It's an Australian problem, and given how organised it appears, it's probably some blackmail attempt.

        For goodness sake, BBC, is your intent to sabotage the NZ Strawberry Industry as well as the Australian!? TITLE THIS ARTICLE CORRECTLY. These were not NZ strawberries.

        How would producers make profit from the lose of sales and produce if the demand for strawberries are really low? Would some companies run out of business? @APPropst

        If you see last few lines they clearly mentioned that those are imported from Australia " On Monday, New Zealand's two largest food distributors - Countdown and Foodstuffs - said they had stopped importing Australian strawberries due to the scare."
