An Adelaide man accused of making a fake report about a contaminated strawberry says he was telling the truth.

Paul Benjamin Wright, 34, faced Adelaide Magistrates Court on Wednesday after police said he last month reported his daughter had discovered a needle in a berry.

Wright, who was not represented by a lawyer, said he intends to plead not guilty to making a false report and falsely claiming goods had been contaminated.

Wright, who was not represented by a lawyer, said he intends to plead not guilty to making a false report and falsely claiming goods had been contaminated

'I did make the claims but what happened actually happened,' he told reporters outside court.

A police prosecutor said Wright made the report after watching a news story about contaminated strawberries and was charged after a subsequent investigation.

He said police would present a receipt, CCTV footage from the north-eastern suburbs supermarket where Wright claimed to have purchased the berries, and a record of his police interview.

Magistrate David McLeod continued Wright's bail to appear before Elizabeth Magistrates Court next month.
