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.

There is currently no evidence that this food recall is linked with the listeriosis outbreak related to ready-to-heat meals or the recall of spinach and mixed leaves product, which has resulted in at least one death so far.
McCormack Family Farms, suppliers to Lidl, Dunnes Stores, and Musgrave Ltd in Northern Ireland, recalled their spinach and mixed leaves products.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) previously said it was "working closely" with the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) and local retailers to determine the distribution of these products in Northern Ireland.
