Last week, mandrake poisonings were recorded in the province of Naples, in Italy. As a precautionary measure, inspections and seizures of potentially contaminated and still unsold pallets of spinach were undertaken at the Naples wholesale market (CAAN). In the 152 crates of seized spinach, no poisonous material was detected. Further investigations by authorities are ongoing.
From the latest reports, it is possible that it is not mandrake, but stramonium, another potentially toxic plant.
