Thinking about the recent news about fruit tampering (needles in strawberries, bananas, mangoes etc), what impact would you say it had on the way you purchase and consume fresh fruits?

I am really disappointed in this whole situation. As if the farmers don't have enough battles to fight, without someone deliberately harming their profits!

If anything the controversy has made me more determined to buy berries and has had absolutely no impact on my purchase of other fruits. As far as I'm concerned, as long as the fruit is cut up it is totally safe. To completely avoid the product is letting the 'tamperers' win - won't be happening in my house!
