The Italian health ministry on Wednesday pulled from supermarket shelves Bonduelle frozen spinach they believed to contain the hallucinogenic plant mandragora.
"The health ministry's move came after a family came down with mandragora poisoning after eating some of the lot in Milan. The three family members were discharged from hospital Wednesday after making a full recovery," ansa.it reported.
The lot being withdrawn across Italy is 15986504-7222 45M63, with a shelf life until 8/2019.
Bonduelle said the presence of mandragora, or mandrake, in the spinach had "not been proven".
