A SALAD product sold in Ireland has been recalled over fears of a diarrhoeac­ausing parasite.

Gold River Quality Mixed Salad Leaves are being withdrawn from sale as a precaution due to the possible presence of Cryptospor­idium.

All batches and best before dates of the product, which comes from Co Wicklow, are subject to the recall.

The Food Safety Authority said: “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.”

Gold River was contacted for comment.
