Fallbrook CA— Sewing  needles were found in two “honey-crisp” apples recently purchased from the Albertson’s Grocery Store located  1133 S. Mission Road in Fallbrook.
A customer purchased the apples on March 15th. On the 20th, the customer sliced into the apple and found a needle hidden inside. Although concerned, she did not immediately report her find. The next day (March 21st), upon slicing open another apple the customer found another needle hidden inside.
