澳洲日前發生恐怖的「草莓插針事件」!起初,兩名來自昆士蘭的男子在超市購買一盒新鮮的草莓,大口咬下後,驚覺草莓內部藏有縫紉針,其中一位還趕緊衝到醫院急診室就醫檢查。
本來以為只是單一個案,警方一開始懷疑是該家超商合作的農場前職員挾怨報復,不料,陸續事件在不同的超市和地區發生,警方排除了這個可能性,但也讓案情陷入膠著,不知兇手究竟是超市員工、農場員工,或是心懷不軌的預謀份子。
Just posting this as a warning to anyone that has bought strawberries (Berry Obsessions) from Woolworths recently....

現今,澳洲及紐西蘭都引發「草莓恐慌」,更有許多賣場和超市直接取消和草莓農場的合作,也宣布暫時停售草莓,這對無辜的草莓農場、農民來說,無疑是巨大損失,許多草莓農民賣不出草莓,被迫開著卡車,一車一車地將新鮮採下的草莓送到荒地、垃圾場傾倒,全部銷毀。
一位出生於草莓世家的少女,名為Stephanie Chheang,她是家中草莓園第三代繼承人,日前,看著祖父和爸爸開著卡車,把數個月來、辛苦栽種的草莓通通報廢,她心痛地側拍整個過程,並PO上臉書寫到,「這對我們整個家族來說,無疑是最糟糕心痛的事,我拍下所有草莓報廢的過程,短短三天內,我們接獲取消合作的通知,失去了一切,我和媽媽、爸爸、祖父每天從早工作到晚,才辛苦地建立起家族事業,還要負責250名員工的溫飽…但因為可怕的插針事件,我們必須扔掉所有的草莓。」
This is no doubt the worst thing to ever happen to my family. This here is a video of our strawberries being dumped, this here is worth more then you could ever imagine and within 3 days we lost it all. My mum Leena Lee Cufari and my step dad has worked years to build the empire they’re sitting on now, they put all their money and effort in to build such a successful business. They work hard to make the money for our family and to have these selfish individuals destroy it is just so upsetting. My mum works day through to the night, controlling the shed and her 250 employees, making sure her strawberries are packed to perfection. This will not stop my family from doing what they do best, if anything they’re going to do better. I thank everyone who supports us and all the other farmers who were affected by this horrible issue. We thank you from the bottom of our heartsTo everyone who does not know, this is due to the needle contamination. We have to throw them out because the markets wouldnt take our strawberries due to the needle scare. ** video produced from Donnybrook Berries ** Donnybrook berries will be adding precaution and putting in metal detectors and other safety equipment we can think of to give our consumers the best quality strawberries.

Stephanie Chheang的影片上傳短短兩天,已累積420萬次觀看次數,不少網友都心疼地表示,「這真的是很浪費的情況。」「紐澳政府應該趕快抓到兇手,而不是要無辜的農民承擔這些。」「希望事件趕快落幕,這些新鮮草莓丟掉太可惜了!」
更可怕的是,現在紐澳政府發現,不僅是草莓,就連香蕉、奇異果等軟皮水果也出現「插針現象」,這到底是人為或是機械故障導致呢?真相仍在調查中。
不過,希望事件盡快落幕,否則,農民的損失難以計算呀~
