Spiked strawberries have surfaced in Sydney, with a horrified shopper finding needles stuck inside three pieces of the fruit.
A Coles customer found pins sticking from the sabotaged fruit after purchasing the punnet from a supermarket in Engadine in Sydney's south on Friday.
The concerned consumer handed in the infected product to their local police station after they found the three sharp objects inside the berry.
Coles and Aldi have now pulled all brands of strawberries from their shelves in NSW since the latest contaminated punnet.
A sixth case of needles being found in strawberries has come to light after a New South Wales mother said she found three pins hidden inside a punnet (one of which pictured)
The product is now set to under-go forensic testing at the local police station and authorities work with the supermarket.
It is believed the consumer had purchased the brand 'Delightful' but returned it after a pin was found sticking out of the fruit, the Daily Telegraph reported.
On Friday, six brands of strawberries were flagged as potentially affected by the sabotage.
The contamination is believed to have affected the brands 'Berry Obsession', 'Berry Licious', 'Love Berry', 'Donnybrook Berries', 'Delightful Strawberries', and 'Oasis'.

Supermarkets are working with their suppliers to investigate the incident involving six brands of strawberries
These brands are sold in Coles, Woolworths and ALDI across Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.
Police asked anyone who finds a needle in their strawberries to take the punnet their local station.
Despite the nation-wide fear, strawberry farmers have asked consumers to still purchase strawberries but chop them up the first.
'This is food terrorism that is bringing an industry to its knees,' Strawberries Australia Inc Queensland spokesman Ray Daniels said.
'But I would say to people, we produce 800,000 punnets a day and seven needles were found. You've got more chance of winning lotto than being affected.'
A $100,000 reward has since been offered for information on the strawberry saboteur.
Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has issued the reward over concerns for growers as well as consumers.
NSW Police said in a statement late Friday that it is unknown if the contamination is related to the original Queensland incident or a copycat as the products have yet to be forensically examined.

Victoria and police reported a suspected copy-cat incident on Thursday where a small steel rod was found in a punnet in Queensland
A health warning to throw out or cut up strawberries remains in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia as authorities hunt those responsible.
Coles told the Daily Mail Australia, 'Coles has complied with Queensland Health's request to remove Donnybrook strawberries from sale following reports of product contamination.
'As a precaution, Coles is also withdrawing all brands and sizes of Queensland grown strawberry punnets from sale in Coles Supermarkets in all states (except Western Australia), in Coles Express stores and via Coles online.
'The safety of our customers is our top priority and anyone concerned about their health should seek medical advice.
'Coles will be working with growers and suppliers to offer support and will ensure that when supply recommences all strawberry punnets are fully inspected before they are sent to supermarkets.'

The concerned...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
