All batches of Gold River Quality Mixed Salad Leaves (Seasonal Salad Box) are being withdrawn by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) from sale as a precaution, due to the possible presence of Cryptosporidium.
Cryptosporidium is a microscopic parasite which causes cryptosporidiosis, a common form of gastroenteritis. Watery diarrhoea is the most common symptom of cryptosporidiosis, which can be particularly serious for young children, older people, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems.
Batches of CO OP Sliced Curly Kale, were also withdrawn today, due to possible contamination with thistle (a spiky weed).
Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores suppling both implicated batches.
