Why were Australian strawberries on sale in NZ after the needle sabotage?
Huh?
Needles found in Auckland Countdown strawberry punnet
Needles have been found in a punnet of strawberries in an Auckland supermarket.Countdown has withdrawn the Australian Choice brand from its shelves as a precaution and is advising customers to cut up the berries before biting into them.
The brand, from Western Australia, was sold throughout New Zealand last week.
Mungo no understand.
If Australia knew there was a problem with needles in strawberries in their own country and were having to dump thousands of tonnes of strawberries last week…
Strawberry needle scare forces West Australian growers to dump fruit
West Australians are shunning strawberries in the wake of the needle contamination scare in Queensland, sending prices crashing and forcing farmers to dump tonnes of unwanted produce.
…then how the fuck did the Australian supermarkets manage to get those strawberries onto the shelves of NZ?
If I was jaded and deeply cynical, I’d suggest the bloody Australians have dumped as much of their stock in NZ despite knowing there was some threat of sabotage to the product.
How and why isn’t there more of an outrage about this? it looks intentional.
Australian Strawberry growers are overwight weight anyway. This was a convenient excuse to scale down anyway.
“Why were Australian strawberries on sale in NZ after the needle sabotage?”
Answer;
Austraiians want to get money at any cost, even if it harms us in NZ.
MPI and our biosecuriry agencies to allow importantion of these un safe foods are totally incompentent,
Aussie supermarket chains main mission is to rip off NZ suppliers and customers as much as possible.
Australia will block half of our exports if we said no their spiked berries.
MPI and Customs are hamstrung by politicians with no balls.
We are suckers.
