Consumers are being urged to throw out strawberries purchased over the past week in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria after needles were found inside the fruit.
Health officials and police say the needles were hidden in at least three punnets of strawberries supplied to Woolworths from a south-east Queensland farm.
Authorities are investigating the contamination after a man reported swallowing a strawberry with a needle on Sunday.
The Queensland Strawberry Growers Association says a disgruntled former employee could be responsible for the contamination.
