The strawberries the man purchased are produced and packaged in Western Australia.

Members of the public are urged to be cautious when handling strawberries and to contact police if they find any sharp objects in fruit.

One farm in WA is believed to have dumped an estimated 20,000kg of strawberries after the find.

Contaminated fruit has been reported in various cases across Queensland, Victoria NSW and South Australia.

Tasmanian police are also investigating a possible case in Hobart.

Aldi and Coles supermarkets across the country have removed all strawberries from shelves as a precaution and New Zealand stores have also stopped supplying Australian grown strawberries to customers.

Berry Obsession, Berry Licious and Donnybrook Berries have recalled strawberries nationwide.

Police are also investigating contamination of fruit sold by Delightful Strawberries, Love Berries and Oasis in stores in NSW, Queensland, Victoria and the ACT.

"This is a very vicious crime and it's a general attack on the public, and it's also an attack on a specific industry," Health Minister Greg Hunt said about the matter.
