Australians are still being urged to cut up or discard strawberries after sewing needles were found in the fruit.
New Zealand have pulled the Australian strawberries off the shelves, as Australian police investigate.
Queensland Strawberry Growers Association vice-president Adrian Schultz told the Australian Associated Press it was "commercial terrorism" and that farmers are worried about what appears to be a sabotage sting that could cost millions.
"I'm angry for all the associated people, it's the farmers, the people who supply them, the packaging people, the truckies with families to support, who suddenly lose their jobs ... it's far-reaching," he told the Australian Associated Press.
At least six brands of strawberries appear to have been targeted including: Berry Obsession, Berry Licious, Love Berry, Donnybrook Berries, Delightful Strawberries and Oasis.
