CBC reports “More pins found in Co-op grocery products<\/a><\/strong>” (emphasis added),<\/p>\n

\n

A Calgary grocery store has discovered more pins in its products, this time pushed into plastic juice bottles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Calgary Co-op store at Oakridge Centre in the city’s southwest was closed for several hours Monday after pins were found in some bakery items<\/strong>. A sweep of the store by employees turned up more pins in bulk food items and in cheese.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday morning, employees uncovered more of the pins.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Before our centre opened this morning at Oakridge we did another sweep and we did find a couple of more products that have the metal objects in them. Those included some of our fresh juices in our produce department,” said spokeswoman Sarah Boutron.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She doesn’t know if the pins, which she describes as the kind used in sewing, were missed during Monday’s sweep or are new.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Although there are no official words from Calgary Co-op whether business at the Oakridge store is impacted, customers at the Calgary store all seem very understanding. To immediately alert the press and the public, Calgary Co-op appears to have done the right thing for the customers and for itself in the long run.<\/p>\n

Here are comments from customers at the Oakridge Calgary Co-op (see attached video),<\/p>\n

\n

“No [our purchase decisions won’t be impacted]. It [food tampering] happened in the States too.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I rarely buy bulk [bread] anyway. […] If I did, I will probably check it out really well first. Cut it open.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I buy grocery here for over 30 years and I never had any problem. […] Yes [I will still come here and buy things].”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Honestly, I couldn’t really care less. I am sure whatever in there, they taken care of it. […] Yes [I will still shop here].”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Well, it can happen anywhere, so what can we do? […] I think they’ve checked it throughly. I don’t think they will be allowing customers in if there are more danger to be worried about.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Note<\/strong>: repeated calls and voices mails left for Calgary Co-op press contacts have not been returned at press time.<\/p>\n
