SACO, Maine (AP) A newspaper says it took two months for the Hannaford supermarket chain to alert police and customers about the discovery of razor blades in fresh pizza dough sold at one if its stores in Maine.
Product tampering at a store in Sanford wasn’t reported to local police until Sunday after police had begun investigating an incident in Saco.
Shaw’s and Star Market also announced the company is removing Portland Pie Co. pizza dough from the shelves of its supermarkets in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Rhode Island.
Nicholas Mitchell, the New Hampshire man who’s accused of putting razor blades in the pizza dough at a Hannaford store in Saco agreed to be brought back to the state from New Hampshire, where he was arrested on a fugitive from justice charge. It wasn’t immediately known when that would happen or if he has an attorney.
