The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has recalled multiple batches of baby spinach and mixed baby leaf products over the presence of listeria monocytogenes.
The authority issued the recall for the branded Garden of Eden Baby Spinach, pack sizes 100g, 200g and 500g with the batch codes F2776 and F2786.
Garden of Eden's Mixed Baby Leaf, pack sizes 100g and 500g have also been recalled.
Their batch codes are 0805B, 0805P, 0805R, 0805Y.
It follows the latest recall of a batch of mixed leaves on Sunday due to the presence of listeria monocytogenes.
Retailers are requested to remove the affected batches from sale and display, while wholesalers and distributors are requested to contact customers and recall the affected batches.
Consumers are advised not to eat any of the affected batches.
Symptoms of listeria monocytogenes infection can include mild flu-like symptoms, or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.

What's behind the recent spike in listeria-related food recalls?
In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications.
Some people are more vulnerable to listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and people with weakened immune systems, including the elderly.
The incubation period, which is time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing, is on average three weeks but can range between three and 70 days.
The FSAI has also recalled a batch of Royal Orient Palm Sugar that contains sulphites which is not mentioned on the label.
It said this makes the batch unsafe for consumers who are allergic or intolerant to sulphites.
