A woman accused of sparking a national food safety panic when needles were found inside strawberries has had all charges against her dropped.
Former strawberry farm supervisor My Ut Trinh, 51, was due to stand trial charged with food contamination offences.
However, the start of the Brisbane District Court trial was delayed after two days of legal argument and Ms Trinh was told on Wednesday that prosecutors had dropped all charges. The prosecution have indicated that they will no longer proceed against you with these charges, Justice Michael Byrne said. You are now discharged and you can leave the dock.
