Rat poison found in cereal packet, Qld police say

Queensland authorities have issued a consumer alert after a food tampering incident involving cereal bought from a Gold Coast supermarket.

Police were notified by a woman who found a foreign green substance in a box
of cereal purchased from an Aldi store at Southport Park. This is the store I shop at (oh no!)

Initial investigations suggest it is an isolated case and that the
contamination occurred post-production and at the point of sale. The green substance looks like rat poison pellets.

Anyone who has bought cereal from the Aldi store in the past 48 hours is urged
to check the contents and packaging and contact Crimestoppers if there
is anything suspicious.

Police are testing the substance and investigating.
