What is this? Linseed (also called flaxseed) is a small brown seed used in food. It can contain a natural poison called hydrocyanic acid (cyanide) if not handled properly.
What's happening? Some linseed from Russia had too much cyanide. This was found in Latvia and Belgium.
Does this affect me? If you bought linseed in Latvia or Belgium, you might have some at home.
What should I do? Do not eat the linseed. Throw it away or return it to the shop. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell after eating it.
