Victorian police have confirmed they are investigating two separate reports of strawberries being found with needles inside them in Melbourne's northern suburbs.
Skye Wilson-Wright was celebrating her 30th birthday on Sunday night with a strawberry-topped cake when she bit into one of the berries, bought from a Coles supermarket in Eltham, to find a needle lodged in the fruit.
The incident follows last year’s nationwide needle scare when more than 100 reports of contaminated strawberries led to heavier federal penalties for contaminated food.
