Police are investigating social media threats to contaminate SPC food products after the manufacturer behind brands including Ardmona and Goulburn Valley announced it would require its staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

[...]

SPC has repeatedly said it wants its workers to be vaccinated by the end of November so that they do not get sick and can keep producing essential food for the country in the face of widespread lockdowns and growing Delta-variant coronavirus cases.

The Australian Manufacturing Workers Union has criticised the plan, saying there was no consultation before it was announced and argued vaccination decisions should be left to public health officials.
