Comments attributable to a Woolworths Group spokesperson

The safety and wellbeing of our team and customers is our top priority.

Following a distressing incident at one of our Victorian stores, we've taken the precautionary step of temporarily withdrawing knives and scissors from sale nationwide.

We're undertaking a risk assessment on our store safety controls before determining our next step.

We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate the understanding of our customers at this time.
