Marks and Spencer 'poisoning' warning issued by BBC presenter after error in store

Marks & Spencer has apologised after a plant expert raised concern over the placement of a popular spring flower in the vegetable aisle.

Botanist James Wong, who has appeared as a presenter on several BBC series including the Chelsea Flower Show, The Secrets of Your Food and Springwatch, raised the alarm on Twitter after being sent a photo of daffodils placed alongside spring onions in the supermarket.

James tweeted: "Gosh, my mum sent me this… 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."
