A Golden Bay woman accused of lacing her colleague's curry with snail pellets has appeared in court for the first time.
Police allege the 58-year-old victim brought a container of curry to share with her fellow employees at their workplace in Oldbury on February 12 this year.
The curry had been shared among employees and eaten without issue during a morning tea break, but it is alleged that after the meal, the accused, Jean Hunt, accessed a chemical storage shed and then entered the staff lunchroom where the food was kept.
The victim then took her lunchbreak and when she opened the container containing the curry she noticed bright green granules in the food.
Upon tasting a small amount she experienced numbness to her tongue.
The food was retained and provided to police with an investigation finding the curry allegedly contained metaldehyde, a poisonous substance used in snail pellets.
Police allege Ms Hunt and the victim were in a "personal relationship" at the time.
The 43-year-old was arrested at her Golden Bay home in October.
She fronted the Armadale Magistrates Court on Thursday where her bail was extended.
Ms Hunt is yet to enter a plea to her charge of endangering the life, health or safety of a person.
She is next due to appear in court on December 17.
