After reports of more than 100 cases of tampered fruit across Australia, some varieties of strawberries in New Zealand's Auckland have been withdrawn as a precautinary measure citing customers' peace of mind and grocers also promised full refunds after needles were found in a box of fruit. 

The fruits were found to be inserted with needles, which apparently started off as a prank. Countries like Australia and New Zealand have a strict policy against contamination of food. 

The Australian government passed legislation last week increasing the penalty for food contamination to 10 to 15 years jail.
