Spanish spinach.

Buy british - you know it's safer.

The Pesticide Residue Committee (PRC) concluded that levels of the
pesticide methomyl found in Asda spinach meant that the "safety margins
would be significantly eroded". Levels were 150% of the safety level for
adults and 240% of the safety level for toddlers. The PRC said that it
was possible that "symptoms such as increased salivation, an upset
stomach or a mild headache could occur, but these effects would be
expected to be short-lived (lasting not longer than 6 hours)". Methomyl
is a carbamate pesticide which affects the nervous system.
