What is this? Golden flax seeds are small brown seeds that can be eaten raw or cooked. They may contain a natural chemical called hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in very small amounts.
What's happening? Some golden flax seeds from Italy and Kazakhstan have too much HCN. This makes them unsafe to eat.
Does this affect me? If you live in France, Italy, the Netherlands, or Switzerland, check any golden flax seeds you have.
What should I do? Do not eat the seeds. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell after eating them.
