Shoppers have been urged to steer clear of a certain brand of herbs sold at popular supermarkets over fresh listeria fears. Various brands of O'Hanlon Herbs Potted Coriander have been whipped from shelves amid concerns they may contain Listeria monocytogenes - a nasty infection that can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea.
The flu-like or gastrointestinal symptoms can, in rare cases, become more severe, causing serious complications. Some people are more vulnerable to Listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and people with weakened immune systems, including the elderly.
What's more, the time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing is on average three weeks, but can range between three and 70 days. This means the infection can creep up on people a good time after consumption.
Retailers have been asked to pull the affected items from their shelves and display recall notices at point-of-sale.
Consumers, on the other hand, are urged not eat the products.

McCormack Family Farms, suppliers to Lidl, Dunnes Stores, and Musgrave Ltd in Northern Ireland, recalled their spinach and mixed leaves products.

A 150g batch of Tom & Ollie traditional hummus has also been recalled as part of the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has said they were distributed to both Northern Ireland and the Republic of watchdog has requested retailers remove the affected batches from the shop floor and display recall notices at pay who have bought the affected products are advised to not eat FSAI said there is currently "no evidence" the recalled hummus product is connected to the previous recall of spinach and mixed leaves or the ready meals recall, which was linked to one death and nine listeriosis week spinach and mixed leaves products produced by McCormack Family Farms, who supply Lidl, Dunnes Stores and Musgrave Ltd in Northern Ireland, were recalled as a precaution following the detection of listeria in the Republic of Ireland. 'This shouldn't be taken lightly' Speaking to BBC Radio Foyle's North West Today programme on Thursday, Mr Johnston said vigilance is key."As soon as an alert is raised, the Food Standards Agency put out a notice and retailers act immediately," he said."There is a vast array of products in our supermarkets and the vast bulk of them are safe to use, but occasionally there are slip-ups like this, and it's very unfortunate that this has happened."The thing we all need to concentrate on now with consumers, retailers and suppliers is to get this stuff out of the system and protect Johnston said the safety of consumers was paramount and he urged people to check what they have bought."My concern is some of these products may have been bought a week or so back and people have forgotten where they bought them," he said."The retailers all have notices up in their shops, but people may have some of these potted products out sitting on windowsills, they need to bin it, or take it back to these retailers and under no circumstances use it."Nobody wants a dose of vomiting, nausea or diarrhoea, so just take it back to the shop or put it in the bin."
