Suspect admits to contaminating produce with mouse poison, hand-sanitizer
ANN ARBOR, MI (WNEM) -
A suspect has been arrested after he allegedly intentionally contaminated food at several supermarkets in Michigan.
The contamination took place at grocery stores in Ann Arbor, Midland, Flint, Birch Run and Saline.
The suspect admitted to intentionally contaminating salad bars and produce sections at at least three different grocery stores in the Ann Arbor area. It happened at Whole Foods, Meijer and Plum Market at least twice in the last month, according to the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
The suspect told police he sprayed the food with a mixture of mouse poison, hand-sanitizer and water.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services does not anticipate any health effects on people who may have consumed the contaminated food.
“Out of an abundance of caution and to protect public health and food safety, I encourage consumers to dispose of any foods purchased from salad bars, olive bars and ready-to-eat hot and cold food areas from these stores between mid-March and the end of April,” said Jamie Clover Adams, MDARD director. “Although most of these types of foods may have already been eaten or disposed of, some may still be in refrigerators or freezers.”
