Supermarket chain Marks and Spencer has apologized after placing daffodils and spring onions next to each other on a food display. The display caused concern among customers who warned people could mistakenly eat the daffodils; eating daffodils can lead to symptoms like vomiting and diarrhoea.For some, it might be easy to confuse them with members of the onion family, which could effectively lead to plant-based poisoning. Daffodils are the single most common cause of plant-based poisoning as people mistake their bulbs (even cut flower buds) for crops in the onion family.
The display will now be changed. In a statement, Marks and Spencer apologized to customers and will now ensure displays do not repeat this mistake.
