A 50-year-old woman has been arrested in Kunzhou, where strawberry pollution is still fermenting.
In September, strawberry needles were reported across Australia. The woman, who was in Caboolture arrest this afternoon, is expected to be charged later and appear in court tomorrow.
The first case of strawberry hoarding began on Sept. 12, when Kunzhou man Hern (Hoani Hearne) bought strawberries from Woolworths, north of Brisbane, and swallowed half a needle as he ate them.
He suffered severe abdominal pain and was treated at Sunshine Coast University Hospital.
Similar incidents followed in Victoria, New York, Western Australia, Tata and South Australia, many of which were regarded as imitation or mischief.
At least six brands of strawberries were recalled, including some supermarket chains such as Donnybrook Berries, Love Berry, Delightful Strawberries, Oasis, Berry Obsession and Berry Licious, that removed all strawberries.
Kunzhou government then announced a reward of one hundred thousand yuan to investigate the culprit of the pollution case, while federal health minister Greg? Hunter (Greg Hunt) ordered the Australian-New Zealand Food Standards Organisation (Food Standards Australia New Zealand) to investigate the pollution.
Government also invested 1 million yuan to help strawberry growers, some of whom had to dump all the strawberries before the end of the growing season.
The authorities have encouraged consumers to "cut them off, not eat" (cut`em up, don`t cut`em out), where strawberry recipes are circulating to support growers.
Pinata farm in Wamuran, north of Brisbane, Gavin? Scott (Gavin Scurr) said at the end of September that they were heartened to see Australians support the development of the industry after it was difficult.
"it was a very painful time for us growers, and our integrity was challenged. As farmers, we are proud to produce delicious and safe fruit. "
