Spinach contaminated with a weed has caused dozens of people to fall ill and prompted authorities in NSW, Victoria and the ACT to issue a recall.

Dozens of people across Victoria and NSW are falling sick after eating contaminated baby spinach, with some reporting hallucinations, prompting authorities to issue an urgent product recall.

Those who became sick experienced a range of symptoms, including serious hallucinations, delirium, blurred vision, dilated pupils and fever. “It appears these products, which were grown on a farm in Victoria and shipped to stores in NSW, have been contaminated with a weed which can have health consequences if consumed,” Riviera Farms said inThe company issued a recall of products with best-before dates up to December 28 as a precautionary measure. It had previously warned consumers about products with a best-before date of December 16.The company said it advised authorities immediately after a retailer alerted it to the issue.

“No one has died, so we’re very happy with that, and we hope it remains that way, but these people are quite sick.” “Lots of tests are being conducted based on material that’s left and the blood and urine of patients [but] we feel pretty confident with the type of chemical that’s caused it.”
