Nanaimo RCMP say it is investigating three incidents of food tampering involving Grimm’s branded products.
Mounties said they are aware of three incidents where a small pin — similar to those used for sewing — was found inside meat products after they were purchased by customers.
In December, a pin was found inside pepperoni sticks purchased at a Costco. Two months later, a pin was found in pepperoni sticks at The Real Canadian Superstore. Last month a pin was found inside Ukrainian sausage at the Fairway Market.
