Supermarkets have reportedly been asked to make sure daffodils are kept separate from fruit and vegetables in a bid to prevent customers mistakenly eating them.

People have previously mistaken daffodil bulbs for onions and the stems for a popular Chinese vegetable, Public Health England (PHE) said.

As a result, it has written to stores advising them how to avoid a repeat this spring as the flower comes into season.
