HEALTH ALERT: SA RECALL OF STRAWBERRIES SA Health has today been notified that a brand of strawberries sold in South Australia is linked to the contamination which impacted the eastern states earlier this week. The contamination relates to what appears to be sewing needles inserted in strawberries.

Queensland Health has found that Donnybrook strawberries, distributed in South Australia by Coles, Woolworths, IGA and Aldi, are associated with the contamination.

If you have Donnybrook strawberries at home or are unsure of which brand your strawberries are from, return them to the place of purchase or discard them.

While no other brands of strawberries have been implicated, consider chopping strawberries up before consumption if you are concerned.

If people come across a contaminated strawberry, they should notify SA Police News. Anyone who eats a contaminated strawberry should seek medical attention.
