Damaged baby food has been found at several North Island Countdown supermarkets. Police are investigating whether dozens of damaged squeezable pouches of baby food found on the shelves of different supermarkets were tampered with. Holes have been found in about 30 packages of baby food at six supermarkets in Auckland – five Countdowns and a SuperValue – and a Countdown in Napier in recent days. “Damage to packaging does occur from time to time as part of the process of manufacturing and distributing food.”Orr said parents should check the packaging of baby food pouches before using them. “In all the damaged product that has been identified so far, the holes have been prominent and easy to see without squeezing,” he said.
